Our Prairie Reader's Theater!
Hello young Pomonans! These six 4th graders are from Ranch Hills Elementary School. They performed a Reader's Theater version of one of Laura's stories. They did a great job and added a lot to our program. Well done!
Joke of the day: What happens when you throw a green stone in the Red Sea?
Answer: It gets wet!
Good Saturday, young Pomonans! We had a GREAT time at the 46th Annual Laura Ingalls Wilder Sociable. Six students from the Ranch Hills Elementary 4th grade class performed a Reader's Theater of one of Laura's Stories. Then we had this GREAT band called the Whirled Peas Band. They were fantastic! They sang and danced and played instruments that the Ingalls would have used. For instance a banjo, fiddle, guitar and flute! They even taught us a dance!
Thank you to the Whirled Peas Band for bringing Laura's life to us in Pomona, California!
Joke of the day: What's the most slippery nation in the world?

The 46th Laura Ingalls Wilder Sociable
Good Wednesday, young Pomonans! This coming Saturday is our 46th annual Laura Ingalls Wilder Sociable. This will be my 22 consecutive Sociable and I am really looking forward to it.
One thing that is different this year is that we are having six fourth graders from Ranch Hills Elementary school do a Reader's Theater of one of the stories in Laura's book. They rehearsed today and they did a great job! They will be dressing in period clothing.
After that we will have country western music from the Whirled Peas Band. They also will be in period clothing and will be using instruments such as the banjo, fiddle, and guitar.
After that we will have a craft activity and refreshments. It will be a BLAST!! (And a blast from the past!)
See you all here this Saturday February 4th from 1:00-3:00pm.
