Helen Keller

This year every second grader was required to participate in the Wax Museum day at school.  This was an assignment which took place over the past month and required the kids to not only research an influential person of their choice, but also write and memorize a speech.  Abi's speech was over a minute long and today she had to recite it for the students (including the 5th graders!), teachers, parents and even the Principal. The kids all sat in chairs with a little black sticker on their hand, which was supposed to represent a button. When someone "pressed their button", the kids stood up and recite their speech.  All in all, I think Abi recited hers about 20 times in a span of two hours.

Way to go Abi!
