May 11th - 15th: Saturday May 9th was National Lost Sock Memorial day. On this day, we are to let go of all our single socks that do not have a mate. Instead of throwing them out, lets turn them into art and put on a show - A sock puppet show. Watch the video on PBSlearningmedia.org called Mr.Socko, and use things around the house to create your own puppet. Take a video of yourself putting on a sock puppet show and share it with us all (Mharvil@floydboe.net)
