Juggling With Mr. Ed

Good Friday, young Pomonans! We had a great time with Mr. Ed yesterday. A lot of you caught on really fast. I don't know how many years in a row that I've taken Mr. Ed's class and I can only juggle scarves not the beanbags!

We started out with the feathers and many of you went right to the beanbags. Not me. Scarves are my speed!

Don't forget that the last day to turn in your reading hours is tomorrow 8/8/09 by 5:15pm. Our end of the reading program party is Wednesday 8/12/09 at 3:30pm. Buster Balloon will be here again and we can't wait!

Those of you who won "Reader of the Week" can take home your pictures and interviews at that time.

We had a really great summer and in some ways it's hard to see it end.

Have a great rest of the summer young Pomonans!

Joke of the day: Can you clean your teeth with a musical instrument?
Answer: Yes, use a tuba toothpaste! ;)

Juggling With Mr. Ed

We had a great time with Mr. Ed this afternoon. We were trying to remember when he first started coming in to juggle with us. We think it has been for the past 15 years at least. Hooray for Mr. Ed!

I couldn't believe how fast some of the kids caught on. He started with peacock feathers and then went to the scarves. Those who could went on to bean bags, some went back to peacock feathers! It really was fun. I have more pictures to add but blogger is giving me problems. I'll try to add them tomorrow.

Another joke of the day: How does a juggler keep his balls in the air?
Answer: By throwing up! (Ha, I made that up myself! Thank you, thank you) :)

Wonder World Puppet Show

Our puppet show was fantastic! Our puppeteer (Ric) provided us with a great show. Ric believes in recyling and he made his puppets out of things you can find around the house. He even showed us how to make a puppet stage out of and ironing board and tent posts! He is a very resorceful guy.

Sorry my pictures are dark. I think I need to recharge my batteries! Tomorrow Mr. Ed will be here to teach juggling to you. He has come every summer for quite a few years and everyone enjoys his classes. He will be here at 3:30pm.

Joke of the day: Knock-knock.
Who's there?
Osborn.
Osborn who?
