Literacy Week - Character Day

Last week was literacy week.  The kids school had a character costume day to celebrate at the end of the week. 
All week Gabriel asked to dress up as Molly mouse. I found mouse ears, which ended up being more challenging than I expected given that we live in the land of the Mouse.  I found two Molly books at the library and set out an outfit.  
Thursday arrived and he decided to be a Minecraft guy instead.  Apparently his classmates made masks and it's more fun to be apart of something as a group. It was a big step for Gabriel to want to participate with his friends  
The mouse outfit was put away and he transformed into a Minecraft character. 


Lane knew right away that she wanted to be a princess. She found her book and happily wore her gown.  The kindergarten teachers also wore princess costumes. 


The third grade teachers dressed up as nonfiction characters.  Alex's teacher suggested Albert Einstein for Alex. It was perfect!  


Alex and I read a book about Einstein.  We compared Edison and Einstein and learned about atoms. I think he was a fantastic Einstein.
