Paul Revere is Here!

For school, David's class had to research a historical figure from Massachusetts and be able to give a 1-2 minute talk as they dressed up like them.  They were part of a wax museum. It was so fun to see all these third graders dressed up and come to life as you stood in front of them.  David choose Paul Revere and as a family we were able learn more about him by going to his home, walking part of his midnight ride, and going to a visitor's center to learn more about the start of the Revolutionary War.
You can't hear him too well (and I didn't get it all)...there were lots of kids, but David was the only one with his memorized, which was pretty amazing. Even more amazing is that he changed what he had written that morning and added a few more details.
