The February meeting took place at the Black Creativity exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry. At left, the boys had a serious discussion about this art exhibit's depiction of lynching.
Some of the work was also astoundingly beautiful. Befow right, W poses next to an amazing sculpture of a bass.
The Finishers fell apart last month! For some reason, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz just didn't work for the boys. They struggled to finish, couldn't remember what they read--it just didn't work! What caused the problems?
Well, they are writing 3 paragraphs to tell why they had such a hard time with such a small book. The paragraphs are due at the next meeting.
About the next meeting: it's April 2 at noon; an early start for a busy day. Finishers have to dress for the day: old clothes, old shoes and long sleeves. They
are working (for pay) before they talk about books.And because we didn't have time to vote this month, next month's book is The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie.
Next month's meeting will be another special event. Saturday, May 7 at 9:30 am. Once again, old clothes and long sleeves will be the uniform of the day. But the boys won't be working this time!
