Scout had his fourth grade Gold Rush day today. It was so cool, and really well done. He said he needed a costume, so I got him all geared up, and he said that all of the kids at school said he looked like a lumberjack! I told him to tell them , “I rush for gold during the day, and cut down trees at night.” He didn’t tell them that.
He was part of “Welsh-Fongo” the town’s bank.
(I can see why people said he looked like a lumberjack.)
The day started out, when they were all looking for gold. Scout found a ton on the hillside. Then the kids all had to turn it in to the bank and get real money for it. Scout somehow ended up with the most in the class. (Go figure. Maybe it had something to do with him handling the money.) Then they got to go and buy things from the different stores that the kids put up.
When Scout found the fresh berries and cream stand, I think he single handedly kept them in business.
It was a really fun day for all of the kids, but I think Scout may have loved it the very most. I think he thought he was the Bill Gates of ‘49.
