Ananse's Feast and Anansi's Party Time



This afternoon, we read two Anansi the spider stories.  In this post, compare and contrast Ananse's Feast with Anansi's Party Time.  Make sure to tell me at least one similarity and one difference between the 
two stories' main ideas.  Happy commenting!

September is Hunger Action Month

September is Hunger Action Month

Feeding South Dakota is showing Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs on
Sunday, September 29th as part of this national movement.   
1:30 PM All AGES WELCOME
  

The event will feature a PSA created by Feeding America that connects the movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs to the REAL issue of hunger. In South Dakota, 1 in every 8 individuals suffer from food insecurity, meaning they lack access to food on a regular basis. Even more staggering is 1 in every 5 children in South Dakota are at risk of going hungry.
This free movie event will provide an opportunity for the community to learn about the issue of hunger in a fun, family setting. The Orpheum Theatre is located downtown (315 N Phillips Ave).

Bring a Can to Take a Ride!
Scheels will give a token for their Ferris Wheel (opening May 2014) to anyone who donates a canned food item at the movie.
