Today was the 100th day of school and 1st grade was ready to celebrate. I wished Allison a Happy 100th Birthday when she woke up this morning and then put her hair in a bun, coated it with baby powder for a graying effect, clipped on some earrings, secured glasses to the tip of her nose, found an old shawl and headed out the door. She was in character right away, walking with her umbrella as a cane.
Grace, Allison, Westin, Cooper and Abby looked happy to be out of the "home"We spotted some of her friends (from the old folk's home) right as we walked up to school. I loved the wigs, walkers, wrinkles, robes and glasses-so creative. The 100 year old teachers did an "Old Lady" dance at Friday Flag Salute and then we headed to class for a morning of 100th Day activities.
