The Rain Forrest

I did a play today with my 1st grade class on the Rain Forrest. This is the third day they performed. They did well all the little toucans, anteaters, sloth, macaw, monkeys, snakes, butterflies, bees, mice, frogs, porqupines, and rain forrest singers. They were so cute. A visiting school came to view.

We made flower pots that we painted and covered a pen with florest tape added some moss to the pot and stuck the pen inside. I like this better than the magnet picture frame. I would have liked the hot holder and will give this pot to RIchard for Gloria. One year we planted the pots with marigolds and pansies, another just the seeds like we planted in the egg shells for Easter.

The play last night by Francisco Lorca, Blood Wedding was good. Richard needed to go for drama. It was in Spanish with English translation. I needed Victor to explain the finner points. The story was about a bride who married then ran away with her married ex-boyfriend. Spanish scandal or one anywhere. Nothing was consumated and she returned to her other in law to overcome shame and hatred and offer comfort. The groom and boyfriend end up dead. I need to read the play.

When I first started at Biblioteca LatinAmerica 8 years ago I was weeding the collection and didn't know any of the Spanish or Latin authors.
I still don't know many. I would have discarded 1/2 of the non fiction collection because it hadn't circed. To overgeneralize, the Hispanic population are not big readers. They rent a lot of videos as does everyone else.

This weekend the cleaning lady come and we tackle cleaning the refrigerator, bathroom and my bedroon, office and garage.

I need to weed and get all the freen fall fruit picked up. The put the tops of strawberries out yesterday and somethong ate them. I think it was a possum. I saw a lot of those as road kill in the south.
