All of the first graders at Oliver's school were asked to create/decorate a hat. After much discussion on what he wanted his hat to look like, Pat came up with the idea to decorate a hat with patches representing Oliver. So, Oliver and I ironed and sewed 30+ patches and buttons on his hat! He had baseballs, basketballs, footballs, soccerballs, race cars, books, dogs, school supplies, and much, much more on his hat! We also put a number 7 (since he is 7 years old) and his initials on it. Let's just say that local sewing stores got a lot of business from us to create this hat! But, Oliver thought it was pretty cool!
Then, all of the kids brought their hats to school and put on a "Hat Parade" program for the parents. They each modeled their hat as another student read a short description of the hat. I was pretty proud of Oliver...all of the other kids read just one description, but he was asked to read the descriptions for 4 of the kids with special needs that weren't able to read. He did a really good job!
The kids also sang several "hat" songs which were very cute!
