book character day

On Halloween, our school holds Book Character Day.  Each class lines up and heads to the Multipurpose Room, where students come forward with their class and take a turn at the microphone, introducing themselves and their book character while holding a copy of the book about their character.

C went as Olaf, and he asked me to take a picture of him with his friend, who came dressed as Elsa.  C even volunteered to loan her one of his Frozen books - unprompted - from home the day before the parade so she would have a book to carry {a requirement to participate}.  Then he came home and got out the newest Frozen book he owned and put it in his backpack right after school that day.  I was so proud of him!

His kindergarten class was so excited when they lined up to go down for the character parade!

C's sweet teacher stood at the mic to encourage her students.  C wasn't nervous about being in front of a microphone at all, of course!

P came with a heavy volume of Harry Potter and a magic wand in tow.

His best friend N was Ronald Weasley.  {P suggested he be Draco Malfoy because he "has the perfect hair for it", but N was quick to explain that he "could be Ron, but NEVER Draco!"  Spoken like a true Gryffindor.}

It's a cute tradition, and I'm glad I got to watch the boys participate!
