We had a great day last Tuesday.  First, we had a great time at the pool and then went to the Remembrance Day ceremony at GISS which was a very moving experience for all of us.  The dance performance "Bedtime" at Artspring was a humorous and lively look at life through the eyes of a child growing up in the bedroom.

On Thursday we are going to have "Potato Day".  We will be roasting potatoes and serving them up with cheese, chives, and sour cream.  It'll be a fine snack for the class.

We continue to do weaving and on Thursday we will be cutting and painting wooden ornaments for Fulford Hall for the Craft Fair.
