Join Miss Katie to make kindness rocks! We will decorate them with kind messages and / or positive images as reminders to ourselves and / or to share with others!
3-5 fairly smooth rocks. The smoother they are, the easier they are to write on. If you are not using paint to decorate them and are only using permanent markers, you will want to choose paler rocks so that the marker will show.
At least one permanent marker or paint pen if you want to write words on the rocks. It is often more challenging to write with paint and a paintbrush but you can also use that method if you feel comfortable. Some younger children may need parents’ help with this part.
Paint and paintbrush and/or permanent markers to draw on and decorate the rocks. :)

Join Miss Katie to learn a few different styles of making friendship bracelets to send to your friends!
Please gather the following materials and bring them with you:
Embroidery string works best but you can also use very thin yarn or cord, or other string of comparable thickness that you can knot easily. You will need at least 2 different colors. We will need about 55 inches of string for each of the two bracelets we will be making (knots take up a lot of string). If you have any questions about materials please feel free to email Miss Katie!
Scissors to cut the string.
A clipboard or tape and a flat surface to hold your bracelet in place while you make it.
Optional: any beads you would like to add to your bracelet (though if you are using a thicker string, it may be more challenging to do this).

This month's book selection will be held as a webinar. We will be discussing "Educated" by Tara Westover. Books are available for free through Overdrive. Visit www.ewml.org to get started on downloading!
From Amazon.com: Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she’d traveled too far, if there was still a way home.
Registration is required for this program and will be conducted through Zoom. To download Zoom, visit your app store or download from Zoom.us to register for a free account.
