Shel Silverstein provided our poetic inspiration this week. Our weekly poet laureate must both choose poems and create questions that go with the poetry and will guide the class discussion. Behind the laureate you can see the list of writing territories we brainstormed for our own writing based on our favorite authors. The works of Roald Dahl, R.L. Stein, J.K. Rowling, et. al. were called upon.

The decidedly fruity batch of kombucha was ready for decanting and consumption today. Expect boosted immunity in the days to come*!
