How I Spent My Day Off

Today was Family Involvement Day at Loring School. I was invited to visit Jonah's 4th grade science class and also see the girl he has his first real crush on.

Because Toby's class planned a day of events, I spent most of the day with Toby.

The kids put on a poetry reading. Toby was a character in a friend's poem (the girl on the right, incidentally, is Toby's "girlfriend" Sydney.)



Toby read this poem:
My Little Sister by William Wise

My little sister
Likes to eat.
But when she does
She's not too neat.
The trouble is
She doesn't know
Exactly where
The food should go!



His performance required props: a messy shirt and food, including a real (hard-boiled) egg which he threw on the floor at the end.












To wrap up the day, Toby was a soloist for the French introduction to: "Frere' Jacques!"
Unfortunately my video malfunctioned and I only caught the end of the song and not his solo. But he sang beautifully!
