Cats In The Attic - Cynthia's Attic!

Cynthia's Attic, and favorite time-traveler, Augusta Lee (Gus), want to welcome a newcomer to the attic scene - Little Bitty Kitty, or LBK for short.

Gus: So, I hear we’re heading to Indiana the first of December. You, Wendel Wordsworth, me and Cynthia. You’ve never been there right?

LBK: Meow.

Gus: Well, you’re gonna love it. Sure you’re just a little kitty, and it’ll be cold there, like really, really cold, but you have a winter coat, right?

LBK: Meow.

Gus: And this Gram person, the one in your story, is she coming along?

LBK: Meow.

Gus: She seems like a nice lady. Your story is cute, too. The way you wiggle through that little…Well, guess I shouldn’t give away the ending.

LBK: Meow.

Gus And your book is interactive? It has coloring pages? That’s great. I love to color...especially outside the lines!

LBK: Meow.

Gus: Well, guess we ought to start packing for the trip. I’m visiting Corydon Intermediate School on Dec 3. What school are you going to?

LBK: Meow.

Gus: Oh, yeah, Corydon Elementary School. Those are some great students. Well, so long for now. See you in Indiana!

LBK: Meow!

Whew! Good thing Gus knows "kitty-speak"!

Earth Day - A Worm's-Eye View

Happy Earth Day, everyone! Wendel Wordsworth here.

Are you part of the Green Generation? I’ve been a member since the day I was born. You guessed it, because I’m a green worm!

Oh, but I’m part of the Green Generation in other ways, too. I conserve energy and recycle. Plant trees and pick up litter. I bet you do whatever you can to keep our beautiful world healthy, too.

And how fun to have a special day set aside to remind us of all we can do to “green up” America. Every little thing makes a BIG difference.

The website EarthDay.net has a lot of “green” tips for students like you and me. Here are just a few things we can all do at school:

Flip the Switch!
• Make signs or stickers as reminders to turn off lights in classrooms or other spaces when they are not in use.
• Request that energy saving light bulbs be used.

The Hot & Cold of It!
• Ask that room doors be closed to trap heat during winter months.
• Report windows that leak air.

Monitor Monitors!
• Check that computers are turned off at the end of each day.
• When not in use, set computers to “sleep mode.”

Recycle!
• Start a school recycling program.
• Conserve paper by using both sides.

Won’t you write in and tell us what special things you did on Earth Day? Do you have a “green” idea not mentioned here? Let us know!

It’s really not hard being “green!”
