Dollygirl's Grade Seven: Tuesday plans and bass clarinets (updated)


School plans for Tuesday include a lunchtime concert at a local church.  This one features bass clarinet and percussion.

The Accidental Voyage (Mr. Pipes):  read all of Chapter 6.  Mr. Pipes, Annie and Drew board a boat in Milan, but their overnight stay turns into an unexpected adventure. (Note to self: don't trust any sailboat captain claiming to be an Irishman named Abdul...or maybe he's American, we're not sure.)

Grammar of Poetry: puns and review of previous lessons.  We actually got into the next lesson, about iambic patterns.  After trying to find some two-syllable words that fit the iambic pattern (unstressed, stressed), we read "My Mother Said," a poem with strong iambic rhythm.
