Today I attended an assembly hosted by both Mark’s and Jake’s classes where there was a wide variety of Reader’s Theatre (Mark was Narrator #3) and also Ukrainian folk dancing. Really, you haven’t lived until you’ve seen sixty five children wearing paper headbands and headdresses, dancing to Ukrainian folk music. It was very entertaining. I […]

Breaking News: the ground has thawed in YYC! Yes, only a tiny drift of snow remains in only the shadiest part of my yard, and all other gardens are showing signs of life. Little green shoots!
