"The Talking Cloth" by Rhonda Mitchell
This week we will begin reading "The Talking Cloth" by Rhonda Mitchell. It tells the story of a girl named Amber, who visits her Aunt Phoebe, who teaches her about adinkra cloth, an Ashanti textile that tells a story with color and symbols. This story continues our theme of family and the interaction of younger and older generations. It is also an interesting social studies lesson about the culture of the Ashanti people of Ghana.
Adinkra Cloth tells stories with colors and symbols. Here is a link to a craft project form PBS Kids you may want to try at home.

Happy Thanksgiving
Giving Thanks
For the hay and the corn and the wheat that is reaped, For the labor well done, and the barns that are heaped, For the sun and the dew and the sweet honeycomb, For the rose and the song and the harvest brought home - Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!
For the trade and the skill and the wealth in our land,
For the cunning and strength of the workingman's hand, For the good that our artists and poets have taught, For the friendship that hope and affection have brought - Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!
For the homes that with purest affection are blest,
For the season of plenty and well-deserved rest, For our country extending from sea unto sea; The land that is known as the "Land of the Free" - Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving
