The Little Prince Review By Raphaela

One of this month's reviews is the Little Prince, which was put on by the Marin Theatre Company. They were kind enough to invite the sixth grade to come and see the play. For those who do not yet know it is about a prince who came down to earth from another planet and tells a stranded Aviator about his adventure through space and his home that he had left.The story was originally a book by Antoine de saint-Exupery, who like the aviator in the production was also a pilot. The little prince was  acted by Elissa Beth Stebbins, the pilot was played by Geno Monteiro, the Snake and rose were by Isabelle Ellingson and the fox and the men on the other planets were by Lizzie Calogero.

I personally enjoyed watching the performance but the ending might bring tears to your eyes. I thought that it was very well acted and that it was cleverly written. Even though it only played in the theatre from december twelfth to the twentieth. I think that anyone who would watch it would love the production.

Petals as bright as the sun and seeds as dark as night The wind blows and they are dancing Stems sticking out like giraffe necks reaching to the sky Green leaves like wings trying to fly

The History of Spring Cleaning By Emilia

The History of Spring Cleaning When I hear those words butterflies of excitement rise in my stomach. It time for “Spring Cleaning.” Spring cleaning has been a tradition in my house for as long as I can remember. Going through my desks and all the random boxes in my house feels as though I’m starting from scratch. It gives me the ability to reorganize my room and make space for brand new things. Spring cleaning is one of my favorite times of the year and going through it this year I started to wonder about the history of the tradition.  It all started as a Jewish tradition in which families would go through their home and perform a “deep cleaning” in preparation for Passover. Jewish families were supposed to rid their houses of any remnants of chametz for the duration of the holiday. This resulted in a complete cleaning of their homes. Since Passover is in spring the tradition of hunting for chametz took place the week before, hence the name “Spring Cleaning.” As time went on spr...
