Starshine is doing her biography project on Ruby Bridges, who helped integrate Louisiana public schools in 1960. She needs to present her project in costume. I have been trying to convince her that 1960's 1st grade fashion is not all that different from 2010 (minus the sparkle). A quick raid of her closet yielded a knee length dress with collar, matching cardigan sweater, folded over bobby socks, and black mary-jane shoes. If I work on my braiding styles over the next week, and throw in a bow, I say she is a spitting image of the cover of the book she read from the library.
Starshine is not convinced. She thinks she looks like a regular kid going to school.
OK - Grandmas - does she look like a 1960 1st grader??

OK, I'm not a grandma, but I do think she is a 1960s kid!!! Auntie and I saw a painting of Ruby by Norman Rockwell. You are right on!!
I am a grandma and I agree. You could go over the top with the lunch box and a paper version of the briefcase like school bag! You are all so creative.
