Ben Franklin in the flesh....almost




Emmett's class did a short play depicting the Constitutional Convention. They were dressed in their colonial garb, which meant for Emmett, his little sister's black sweat pants and his dads white socks. I found a Ben Franklin wig at the last moment (thanks Cheryl) and you could tell exactly who Emmett was portraying. The play was well done and what a fun way to learn about the Constitutional Convention and a little bit about the personalities of the delegates who attended.

Emmett, You look just like Ben. What inventions are you working on?

That costume looks great on Emmett. He could really pass for Benjamin Franklin.
