Jabberwocky... Recycled

Annika knows the Jabberwocky poem from Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll.

We have gotten a lot of mileage from that particular poem.

Most recently, she wanted to participate in the First Grade Talent Show.

She wanted to sing "Kids in America".

I strongly encouraged her to recite the Jabberwocky.

She did.

Dramatically.

She got more than one chuckle.

And she did a great job.

Despite being a little nervous in front of all the adults.

Here goes:



We just found out that she has been asked to perform her poem for the entire school on the 26th. She is definitely not a shrinking violet--she can't wait.
