Help Stop the Cycle of Cruelty

In class, we have been discussing Puppy Mills and the fact that there are increasing amounts of these sad places in Quebec and Ontario. Here are a few good links with tips to help stop Puppy Mills. Don't feel helpless. You CAN help. There are even links to sample template letters that you can send to MP's, Mayors or Counselors. Be informed! Know what is happening in our Country!

Be the change you wish to see and share info with friends.

STAR WARS IDENTITIES Fun!

I was very excited to see the real Yoda puppet. He is so cute! The Ewok is the character that I created at the exhibit. You travel through the show with a special bracelet that slowly creates a character that is based on your personality. At the end, your character is revealed!

Star Wars Identities Exhibit

FYI- The Star Wars exhibit is now here in Ottawa and well worth seeing! It includes all interactive activities and all the actual props, costumes and amazing puppets from the first Star Wars films! A must for the family who enjoys Star Wars! Click here for tickets and times. It runs until September, so it may be a neat summer treat!

Miss. Sturgeon loved it!!
