January in Review
At Zack's Place we delivered posters for Pentangle, took cooking lessons, made beads with Sarah, worked on our greeting cards, cleaned up around ZP and went to the library, all in the mornings.
During mid-day we ate lunch together, skied at Suicide 6 with VASS, went to the movies at Billings Farm, went bowling, had motivational meetings with Angel, swam with Woodstock Union High School Community Classroom, did art with Fiona, drummed and sang with Mark VanGulden and Kathleen Dolan.
After school we snow-shoed around the green getting ready for the Special Olympics, we exercised with Bari, did yoga with Tita, art with Fiona and sang with Kerry Rosenthal and Norm Frates Sr.. We read books with Tow Wright, Anthea LaVallee, Tea Britton, Ron Jaynes, Jim Sadwith and Chloe Dickinsen.
