Canucks???

(from Wikipedia) ... The Random House Dictionary notes that: "The term Canuck is first recorded about 1835 as an Americanism, originally referring specifically to a French Canadian. This was probably the original meaning, though in Canada and other countries, Canuck now more often refers to any Canadian." We are now permanent residents of Canada, which may not qualify us to be Canucks, strictly speaking, but we're more Canuck than any other Williams in our family ... and proud to be!

Monarch Mayhem



Andrew had a really cool week at school last week - a group called Trickster Theatre (www.trickstertheatre.com) spent the week with the students writing and rehearsing a play by each class. The kids made up their own scripts and planned the costuming and props, and then they performed it Saturday night. It was amazing what they came up with! Andrew's class did a play called Monarch Mayhem, in which they were Monarch butterflies, and their "Mama Monarch" - played by their teacher - was stolen by Bill Nye the Science guy. It was hilarious, and really well done.
