Introducing Hank Williams

It was the 5th Grade Wax Museum this past week. Each of the kids pick a state and do a HUGE State Report on that state: everything from a picture of the license plate to all geographical information. It took the first part of the year to get it done. Then they get to pick a famous person from that state to portray in the Wax Museum. Dylan had the state of Alabama. We learned a lot about Alabama and he chose Hank Williams as his person. He had to memorize a 4 lined speech so that when people pushed his "button" (each kid had a paper button that you could push to hear their speech) he could recite it. We borrowed the guitar from a friend and the rest of the outfit came from grandpa. It was incredible. All of these 5th Graders dressed up with props and everything just standing still until someone pushed their button. We went and had so much fun walking around the different rooms pushing almost all of the buttons. One of my favorites was Lucille Ball - red, curly wig, polka dot dress and all. They gave out awards to the best yesterday and Dylan got "Best Portrayal of Hank Williams". He had that twang down pat. It was great.
