On Friday, March 8th, students performed a quick play that they had helped their Quest Theatre guide create. They were funny! The plays had an over-reaching theme of culture.
We planted some hyacinth bulbs in the area near the playground. It's fenced off, but squirrels can EASILY get in there. We experimented: some bulbs have a layer of burlap between them and the top of the ground - will that protect them from squirrels digging them up? Will it stop them from growing very well? Other bulbs have no burlap. It's looking good so far. It takes a LOT of patience now, as they won't come up until the spring time! While digging, room 306 found an earthworm and named him Khabib. Khabib was a class pet for many, many weeks. Sadly, he died in November from too much mould (probably too much water) in his habitat. Rest In Peace, Khabib.

The new downtown Central Library had JUST freshly opened when we went to it on November 7th. We had a tour of the children's section first, and then explored in small groups with our parent volunteers. It's a huge space, and very beautiful. Some students checked out books, and we think we will be back again later on in the year!
