Carrie's class had to do a biography report last month and she chose, "that guy on the dime." Yes, she meant Thomas Jefferson. Her report consisted of 10 notecards, a 2 minute speech, and a bust of her person. Her teacher suggested a coffee can, but also advised the students to be creative. Well, I buy bags of coffee instead of grounds in a can, so that wasn't an option. Carrie wasn't phased in the slightest, and being Carrie, decided to use an intact pumpkin we still had from Halloween. Grandmama cracked up and said, "well, he WAS a farmer, so he'd have appreciated that you thought to use a pumpkin!" I hope Mr. President is smiling down on her instead of rolling over in his grave. Anyway, she got a 100 percent on her report! We covered the pumpkin with construction paper, she drew the face and ears on with marker, glued cotton balls on his head for his wig, and used a quarter of a Wendy's cup carrier covered with construction paper as his hat. That was needed to cover the pumpkin stem. =) So it is with great pride that I introduce you to our third President, Thomas Jefferson!
