Abraham Lincoln

On Friday's I have been trying to go in and help in the office at Ladybug's school. Well, this Friday they had a special guest come in and they held an assembly in the gym and I had the opportunity to watch and take some pictures.

They had all the little ones in the floor.

The bigger one in the bleachers.

Each classroom was responsible for a state. The class had to learn about the state and then they each wore something or created something representing their state and at the assembly, each class stood up and held their state up. Ladybug's class had Mississippi and they created hats with bears on them (Although I lived in Mississippi for a number of year, I didn't know bears were associated with them.). Ladybug and her friend A. were holding the states for their class.

Here their class is standing up.


Their principal.

Abraham Lincoln arrives. Notice how tall he his coming in the doorway. He was 6 foot 7 inches and then he had the hat on top of that.

He described his life story as if he were Abraham Lincoln. Most of it was pretty dry but he had some funny stories in there like when they put footprints on the ceiling of the house.




Thought this was a neat picture of Ladybugs class all in a row.

Here is the assistant principal. She is the one that I help when I volunteer.

So glad that I got to be there that day because there are so many things that happen as school that I never know about because Ladybug forgets to tell me or can't remember!
