We’ve been discussing some other possible activities, such as Book Projects and a weekend meet-up at the Henry Ford Centennial Library.  This is something that I’ve done with my students and their families for about 8 years now.

Funny story: Once, when I was teaching at Oakman Elementary we had gym and picture day on the same day. As you might imagine, most students were “dressed up” for their pictures. I had a student who went all out and wore a TUXEDO for his school picture. I will not soon forget the image of him running as fast as he could around the track in his tuxedo. Priceless.
