Book Report!!

R just finished his first book report of his fourth grade year. Instead of a normal written book report they had a different assignment. They had to write up at least 13 questions. Then they were going to give an interview in front of the class with the teacher asking the questions. They also were asked to dress up as the main character of the book. Well R's book was called "Choosing Up Sides". It is about a young man in the early 1900's who found out that he was good at baseball because he was left-handed. I won't go into any more detail but if you know anyone in this age group who likes to read then this is a good book for them. Today was the day that he had to dress up and be interviewed. I asked him if I could sit in on it and he said "I don't care". Typical 9 year old response. Well I will just tell you that I stayed to watch three of the students give their interview and I was amazed at how much the kids enjoyed it. I don't ever remember doing a book report that I was exited about and yet it was all these kids could talk about for the last week. Amazing. Here are some pictures of my boy from this morning.
