Isaac had a presentation at his homeschool tutorial class yesterday. He was supposed to pick a historical figure from the time periods they had studied over the year, prepare several facts to "quiz" the audience on, and come dressed as that figure.
He did a terrific job.
He spoke clearly, loudly, and comfortably. No mumbling, feet shuffling, fidgeting, or head-ducking. We didn't even have to practice it. He just got up there and did it.
You can hear his two questions here (at least, those parts where Theo wasn't squealing):
Didn't he do a great job?
Stephen and I did a great job on the costume. Stephen went to the fabric store (no, really, he absolutely did) and spent about five bucks. He brought the stuff home and I spent about five minutes cutting a hole in the fabric and tying things in helpful ways. Isaac remembered an art project from earlier in the year that would go.
And walla!
Squanto, in the flesh!
They also had an art show. The kids painted a self-portrait, a portrait of a friend, and a landscape. They also did masks from a Native American tribe I've now forgotten. Was it Cherokee? Anyway, here's his:
Very impressive, eh? This is one of the reasons I like his tutorial class. There is no. way. on. earth. Stephen and I could help him with art. Zero.

Isaac looked very knowledgeable about Squanto. His costume was great. Great jobs all around. I am so proud.
Yes, he did do a great job! I love the way he raised his eyebrows. He seemed very comfortable in front of people. And the costume looked perfect!
The eyebrows were a hoot, weren't they??
