During the past two weeks, we first traveled to India with Gerald McDermott's Monkey: A Trickster Tale and then continued to Ghana with The Spider Weaver: The Legend of Kente Cloth by Margaret Musgrove and Julia Cairns.  The PS students enjoyed creating their own cloths, spiders, webs, and other imaginative designs.

1984 - George Orwell
