Gavin's teachers were bound to make them work right up to the second to last day of school by giving them a project to work on for most of May. His class finished reading "Number of the Stars" and were having discussions about the WWII time period. The assignment was given to interview someone who lived during that time and then write a personal history essay from the interview. Finally, they had to make a poster and give a presentation on their work (the second to last day of school!) Gavin interviewed his Great Grandpa Andersen who was a B17 Bomber pilot during WWII. Great-Grandpa Andersen flew many missions over Germany during the war. Gavin is fascinated by it all and had a great time putting together his essay and poster. I think he also gained a greater appreciation for his great heritage. He is very proud of his Great-Grandpa!!
