Really, it sounds like TONS of fun!!!! <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure of the actual definition, but I've always thought "strew" meant to throw things together quickly in a messy sort of way. So, maybe you can allow Kellen to "strew" together any type of ridiculous clothes he wants to wear. Admittedly though, I have absolutely no real idea of what "strew" means, and there's an excellent chance the kids at Kendrie and Kellen's school know the meaning of and use a whole ton of "big" words I've never heard !!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36095574.post-30086655810944845732008-11-07T11:14:00.000-05:002008-11-07T11:14:00.000-05:00Oh, I love it!!

My teacher self is in AWE of all the costume projects...<BR/><BR/>I'm a little shocked too because when I taught I was always very careful about any assignment that absolutely required parent involvement because I didn't really want to see what the parents could produce, but what the kids could produce. AND what about kids that don't have an ideal family life or can't AFFORD to purchase tons of stuff for projects? <BR/><BR/>If the school is going to require costumes perhaps the school should provide them. It's unfortunate b/c a lot of the events you mentioned sound cute, but they probably don't all require a costume to be a good learning experience...Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18183163575528945271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36095574.post-39695867595218602752008-11-07T00:53:00.000-05:002008-11-07T00:53:00.000-05:00Just drop the "R" and have him go as a can of Dint...Just drop the "R" and have him go as a can of Dinty Moore.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06295499795085860012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36095574.post-87468962407493529622008-11-07T00:40:00.000-05:002008-11-07T00:40:00.000-05:00I swear the teachers who assign this craziness eit...I swear the teachers who assign this craziness either a) don't have children of their own or b) have children of their own and are using their positions in the educational system as a means to revenge on all those teachers who gave THEIR children ridiculous assignments.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12547679169487196540noreply@blogger.com
