Whew! Last week was so busy! It started with the field trip to the Pippi Longstocking play at the Cannon Center and, although I didn't go on the field trip, I loved reading about Pippi with the second graders before they went. Mrs. Collier and I were talking one day at the copier and came up with a "book hook" and descriptive drawing activity based on the original Pippi Longstocking book. The smilebox below includes the girls and their Pippi drawings that they drew before they read about her (except for some who had already read her books or had seen a Pippi movie!). From all of the talk after the girls returned, it sounded like they had a great time at the play:)
Last week also included my attending a presentation hosted by St. Mary's by the author of a book called,
Hamlet's Blackberry by William Powers. The author talked about how important it is to have a "balance" in our lives with all of the amazing technological tools available to keep us "connected" all of the time. It is an interesting read!
Love this Gay!
