BACK TO SCHOOL


 All the kids 'n' kits are back to school now.
And I'm not in kittengarten anymore!
I was kinda sorta worried about riding the skool bus since I'm real shy, but then
mine Mommy said I would be home skooled so I was very happy.
These are my new crayons to color with as long as I don't use them on rugs or furniture,
walls or blankies.  Only on paper, like to decorate my paper tents!
I wanted a backpack for skool.  Maybe I'll get one for my gotcha day.
And maybe some crayons that are littler and fit in my paws better ...

Meowing 'bout skool, mine Mommy is kinda sorta happy too.
Cause she works with a teacher who brings a group of high school students
here each week.  They are all drama students from the
Baltimore School for the Arts and it's really a cool thing she says,
where the "young and young at heart" get together.

The peoples here in this senior building come and together with these
students they all act out impromptu skits and little plays ... or sing,
no dancing, cause some here use walkers and canes!!!
They laugh with each other, tell stories, ask questions about life
and being young vs being not so young anymore.
Mine Mommy awards a door prize at the end each week and
gives everyone a "sweet treat" and we all look forward to
our next time together.

  2. That will be nice for you to be home schooled, June. That is a lovely ides for the drama students to visit once a week. It makes for a good interaction between the two age groups.

  4. We too are home schooled for the most part. It is too hard to find a class that fits our needs so Mom works with us on her own and we attend random seminars. What a nice idea to have that group come to your building and work with seniors. It is good for both groups.
