Movie Review

Tim is reviewing "Secretariat". Rated PG. Running Time 1hr56mins.
The movie was about a horse race with a little jockey on it. The name of the horse was Secretariat. He was a good horse. My favorite part of the movie was when he won all the horse race. I would recommend this to other people. I give this movie a TEN. It was the best movie I have ever seen. I would like to see it again. The horse thought he was a big shot.

Day Trip to Suson Park

Fall Fun

It's officially FALL. If you love this season as much as I do you might want to...

VISIT
a local pumpkin patch. Daniel's Farm on Jungermann Road is where some of you went with us last year. Pumpkins galore, fall decorations, and animal petting zoo are some of the things you will find there. Hours are Monday through Saturday 9-6 and Sundays 10-5. Expect to pay admission. Of course if you want to keep it simple pumpkins are available at your favorite grocery store too!

MAKE
pressed leaves. Collect colorful leaves from your neighborhood. Try to get different types. Place the leaves you wish to press between two sheets of newspaper. Place heavy books on top of your leaves. Allow them to flatten and dry for at least 24hours. Consider laminating them.

LEARN
why the leaves change color, where Halloween first started, or anything else you wonder about by visiting your local library. Click here for a link to the St. Charles City County Library Home page where you can find branch locations, programs, an online catalog and more.

Bored with your lunches?

Cooking class participants bravely made and tasted some very simple sandwich variations. First, vegetable cream cheese spread with cucumber slices. Second, almond butter with almond slivers and dried cranberries sprinkled on top. Both were a hit and both ideas were taken from Parents.com. Staff commented that these would also make great snacks.
