Welcome back everyone! We are excited to be back and moving forward. Speaking of, today we heard the rats’ plan. I assumed that everything was going great in the story, since Mrs. Frisby’s house was already moved. Sokrates reminded us that they still have to worry about the cat. Jerome said that he thought Dragon might be more dangerous with the new place her house is in, while Rebecca thought that maybe Dragon was going to attack the rats when they were moving. Anja reminded the class that Dr. Shultz was coming and Bisola added that he was planning on killing all the rats. Thankfully, the rats have a pretty good plan on how they’re going to escape, even though the plan requires a few of them to stay behind. Timo thought that if he were a rat, he’d want to be one of the rats going to Thorn Valley so he can help there. Paolo, on the other hand, wanted to stay behind, since he wants to stop Dr. Shultz.
Our other time during the day was taken up by a great trip to the library. When they got in, Teddy was thrilled to find the dinosaur section, which he recognized by the picture on the shelf and all of the book covers with dinosaurs on them. We once again had a group of students ask the librarian to help them find books, which meant they got to go in the older kids’ area. Bisola wasn’t sure if she was going to want the book she picked out, so she looked at the book covers around it to remember where it belongs. Thanks to Sokrates’ Thor book and all of the questions he asked, I got to explain the difference between maces, axes, halberds, and morningstars; it was an exciting discussion! Gia realized that she could use the layout of a magazine and the title of it to put it away when she was done. Tove was giggling that she liked her book because the mermaids in it liked eating marshmallows, just like her. Also, we received our adventure patch and are excited to start working on our animal stories patch.
It seemed like a super short day, but that didn’t stop us from getting a lot done. Also, tomorrow is the last day to make donations for the Night Ministry before we start bagging up the trail mix: remember, any dry cereal, fruit, or M&Ms can be donated for us to bag up. We’re going to start mixing it up and bagging it Wednesday, so bring in any last minute donations! Have a great night everyone.
