Dian Fossey

In 2nd grade at Winterpock, the kids prepare to be a famous American in a wax museum.  I saw Elvis, lots of sports stars, Thomas Edison, three Susan B Anthonys, a Betsey Ross, a few Steve Jobs, Pocahontas, Walt Disney, and others. Sadie chose to be Dian Fossey.  Who's that you ask?  She wrote the book, 'Gorilla's in the Mist' after studying mountain gorillas in Africa for 18 years.   Sadie really wanted to be Jane Goodall, but she is English.  Can you guess why Sadie was interested in these two ladies?
Here she is:

 Notice her red button?  Here she is being very serious and reading her lines. 
She said making the jungle was hard and drawing a gorilla in the backdrop was even harder.  It's hard to see it, but she also dress her house.  I loved how she took the initiative to pick out her own unique American and I also loved how easy the outfit was.  It sure beats Elvis!!
