We read the book Dinner at Aunt Connie's House by Faith Ringgold. It was a fabulous book and the children enjoyed the story.  The book was about a lady (Aunt Connie) who loves to invite her family to her house for dinner.  Aunt Connie is also a great painter and she paints new paintings for her family to view.  She also takes the time to use her painting to tell a story about famous people that her family really enjoys.
After reading the book, the children were asked if they could invite anyone to dinner who would it be.  The response were very intriguing. Here are their responses:

Nora -  Barbie
Claire - Elsa and Anna
Malcolm - Stephen Curry, Michael Jordan, and Lebron James
Carter - Army
Caitlyn - My new neighbors
Lily - Mom and Dad
Charlotte - Taylor Swift
Remi - Lionel Messi
Megan - Ms. Heather and Ms. Juanita
Morgan - Her soccer coach
Eliza - Adele
Parker - a train conductor
Ryan - Silento producer of  "Whip and Nae Nae" song
Patrick  - Donald Trump
Wyatt - Ms. Juanita and Ms. Becky
Christian - A Knight
DJ- Ms. Alyssa

Ms. Juanita - The Obama's
Ms. Heather - Bruno Mars and Ellen Degeneres
Ms. Margie - Tom Hanks


Wow! What a wild range of people our children feel  are important.  I would love to be at that dinner and hear all that took place.
