June 2001

Anansi is based on a West African tale.
It's the story of a very tricky spider who discovers a magic rock

which he uses to steal food from all the jungle inhabitants.

The last laugh is on Anansi, of course,

but not before everyone has a chance to sing some fun songs

about yams, dancing mangos,

and Anansi's mischief. 

 

Getting ready for the big day!

Zebras

"We Are Wise Old Zebras"  

Lions

"We Like the Yams"

Rhinos

"Tango with a Mango"

Monkeys

"What's That Smell?"

 

Elephants

"Stretch Out My Trunk"

Little Bush Deer and Anansi

"We See the Trees"  

 

A very special thank you to

our incredible group of Room 3 helpers!

Thanks to Diane Pulverman, our playful musical director.

When she casually mentioned that she could play the piano back in September,

I had no idea what magic would happen in the June.

Thanks to Karen Wootton, our loving co-director.

Her constant support and inspiration keep me positive and focused year after year.

Thanks to our fabulous new music teacher, Ms. Huse, for teaching our kids how to sing.

Thanks to Deb Harpster for spinning Anansi's web with love.

Thanks to our dedicated parent helpers for helping with play practice, sets, props, and costuming.

You know how to move mountains, raise the sun, and help children create the fruits of the earth.

Thank you for encouraging your child to always try their best.

Attitude is so important!

Thank you for the drinks and desserts at our cast party.

Thank you for an awesome year.

I knew when you first walked through our Room 3 door

back in September that I was in for a special year.

Thank you,

Lynn Seigel-Boettner
