//We have about 5 minutes to present something really special for this amazing mentor and person. Let's start brainstorming....// __**//Ideas//**__

1. Readers' Theater - write the script? adapt somthing out there? > Tia speaking: I adapted this one: Is there something we could do to improve it?
 * Ideas for adapting a script:
 * Tia mentioned __Caps for Sale__because Amy wears so many caps. Great one!
 * What could we do to modify it for Readers Theater?
 * Or would we use the doc camera and use a picture of Amy's face on the man and add caps by name (instead of color of cap, make them "teacher cap", "facilitator cap", collaborator, mentor, etc.)
 * Other thoughts?
 * Amy's favorite book: __Whinnie the Pooh__
 * (considerations: Original story is long. Would we take a scene from it?
 * What about another Whinnie the Pooh book? __Pooh's Graduation__is one option.
 * //Summary: It's graduation time for Christopher Robin. Pooh, Tigger, and the rest of the gang decide to hold their own graduation celebration. Each graduate receives a diploma and an award for their best talent: Tigger for bouncing, Piglet for cleaning, and Roo for finger painting. But Pooh's not sure what he's best at, until Christopher Robin hands him an award for best friend//
 * Other ideas around a Whinnie the Pooh theme?
 * Other texts to adapt? What about a poem?

**It Doesn’t Seem Enough **  //(Adapted from poem by Joanna Fuchs) //  We want to tell you "Thank you,  "But it doesn’t seem enough. Words don’t seem sufficient- "Blah, blah" and all that stuff. Please know we have deep feelings About your generous acts. MRA, New York, Muskegon You’re special, and that’s a fact! We appreciate your encouragement, guidance and support. We’re better today having known you Of this we can report. 2. skit? 3. Quotes from Amy and why they have sticked with us? : Amy's favorite is: "Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you will help them become what they are capable of becoming." -Goethe

Are we all set? (Rose)
