october song

we've been enjoying singing this song either after breakfast or before dinner. jean from waldorf inspired learning shared it on the last webinar she held.

friday morning circle

 we've been working on a king winter recitation and a poem by langston hughes. morgana read up on langston and told us a little about his life. she found his maternal grandmother very interesting in that she was one of the first women to attend oberlin college and that she was of african-american, french, english, and native american descent. langston spent a time growing up in kansas with her, and eventually studied engineering at columbia university, where he also pursued his passion for poetry.

 chanda began work on her map of ancient greece.

she also sewed the ribbons on her new pointe shoes for her audition on sunday. she'll break the shoes in at pointe class this evening and tomorrow morning. she listened to a cd we got for christmas, james herriot's cat stories.
