No wonder Noah was so tired every night last week, he was busy doing all sorts of fun things!
On Monday, his class took their field trip to the Kansas Cosmosphere & Space Center in Hutchinson. Noah reported that it was very cool and he had lots of fun. It was kind of hard to pull much more information out of him, but it was apparent that he was impressed and had fun.
Wednesday night, Noah was invited to go along with his buddy Jake (and Jake's dad) to Wichita to celebrate Jake's birthday! They ate at KFC - and Noah LOVED it - clearly. :-)
And then a friend of ours, hosted the boys at his work so they could fly in a simulator. Noah LOVED flying more than KFC, so obviously he had a really, really good time.
Thursday was Famous People Day for the 3rd grade class. Each student picked one famous person, researched that person, wrote a report, drew a portrait, made a display board and dressed up to represent their person!
Noah chose Jesse Owens. He did all the work for this project at school and he wouldn't really tell us much about it. So I was very curious about what we'd learn once we were at the actual event.
Some of the other grades came through to learn about the famous people from the third graders.
And then in the afternoon parents and grandparents were invited to come and "meet" the famous people.
Plus, each student made a creative power point presentation that they showed to their guests in the computer lab.
It was an impressive amount of work and the kids seemed to have a wonderful time.

It was a week full of fun and educational stuff! What a lucky kid!
*Big thanks to Noah's teacher Mr. Wiens for most of these photos!*
Noah - growing up as a hurdler I LOVED the story of Jesse Owens and looked through so many pictures of him hurdling! I'd love to hear what your favorite thing was that you learned about him - I've forgotten lots of it!
