Saturday, June 19

Christie's off to CHINA from Thursday, so Doug's going to be leading both the Red and Blue classes this week. He is planning to get everybody busy doing some work in the garden (to see the planting pictures click here)

If possible, people should go straight to the Provenzanos' place so the project can get started at 10:30. Try to get there a few minutes early. It will go ahead RAIN OR SHINE, so if it's raining, be sure to bring a rain jacket. Rain or no rain, you should bring boots or shoes that are ok to get dirty. Long pants and long sleeves are a good idea because Provenzanos' mosquitoes are HUNGRY! (We have mosquito spray to help keep them away...)

All kids should ask their parents to take them to Provenzanos' place and pick them up at the end of class in Ropponmatsu. If anyone doesn't know where the Provenzanos live (Oscar? Kai?), you should go there with Doug.

Graeme's class will be held in Ropponmatsu as usual (Rei, Moni, Maya, Hana, and Shinjyu should go to Ropponmatsu as usual). The big kids will come back from the gardening project and finish up the class by making SMOOTHIES!!

Doug says that for homework you should bring a drawing showing your idea for building a bamboo fence (or cage) covered with netting to protect our corn from the hungry crows. Try to think of a way to make the cage strong, so it won't wobble.

I am looking forward to hearing about the project and seeing your masterpiece when I get back from China!
