Jefferson the Great


A few weeks ago, Jefferson had to prepare a report on a famous individual for his history class. He chose to give his report on Alexander the Great, one of the most brilliant generals ever.

The history teacher was very creative; as part of the report, she asked the students to dress as their selected character and present a short synopsis of that person's life as a wax museum figure would. Other students would wander through the "museum", pushing "play" buttons to hear the figures talk about themselves. As you can imagine, Jefferson threw himself into his preparation, designing and creating his costume all by himself.

Parents were invited to come, and it was so fun to see the students dressed up and giving their carefully prepared speeches! Jefferson did such a great job :)

Here is Jefferson trying to look tough for the camera:

That is definetly right up his alley. If I were his teacher, I would give him an A+.
