Day: August 31, 2005

This is such an unworthy thought, but I wonder how many international aid organizations are planning relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. I think a lot of the people in the world expect the US to handle our disasters on our own. I expect that most of that has to do with our foreign policy moves of the past few years.
I don’t think the people in Mississippi or Louisiana care who helps them out at this point.

First day of preschool storytime today. I’m interested to see how many little people we get. We’ve been on hiatus since July. I kind of hope it starts slow and builds up, although I have the impression that there are a fair number of people who are interested in the program. A few of my regulars from last year are in Kindergarten this year. I’m excited to be starting. I like doing Storytime, but the weekly task of planning it, especially trying to think up a craft, gets old pretty quickly.

EDIT: We had 6 kids and 5 adults, a nice and very enthusiastic (read active) group. Two returning from last year and the rest were all new. We had fun and sang my two new songs I learned at camp this month, the Moose song and the Alligator song.
