Week of Nov. 8

What a great week ahead, with making soup on Monday (using vegetables from our garden), going to the Book Fare on Tuesday, as well as having a visit from the Picture Lady/Gentleman, performing at Poetry in the Park on Wednesday, painting our show t-shirts on Wednesday and Thursday, and practicing our poems, dances and song in between.

Here is our week at a glance. Remember that Poetry in the Park begins at 8:30am on Wednesday and we are looking forward to seeing you there. Remember that the students will need to dress in a yellow, green or red t-shirt with their uniform bottoms for our performance.

Please also send in empty large soda bottles that we will be using to make our terrariums out of.
