My Son, the Actor

IMG_9794IMG_9795IMG_9797To culminate their studies this month, the two second grade classes came together and performed several short plays about American History.  Mason had a role in Aunt Harriet’s Story.  He was very much at ease in front of the group, respectful and reserved while he performed and waited.

As soon as his role was over and he was introduce, though, he hammed it up with a little dance and an exaggerated bow.

Mason also wrote a short summary about President James Madison.  He has always had an affinity for Madison.  He wrote: 

President James Madison

by Mason Selby

President James Madison was born on March 16, 7151. (sic/typo) He would be 263 years old if he was here! Before he was president, he was a lawyer. Madison also served as a congress man and secretary of state.  President Madison was our 4th president from 1809.  He was a member of the republican party.

There is an app called Aurasma which allows us to scan the symbol and then see a clip of Mason talking about Madison.  Once I figure that out, I will find a way to edit it in.
