A million teddy bears find a million buttons

by Jay Gabler, TC Daily Planet • 10/1/08 • As part of a national effort organized by the Boston-based early education organization Jumpstart, the Guthrie Theater has invited local children and their minders to stop by tomorrow morning to be regaled with one of many readings of Don Freeman’s Corduroy. As a cobranded bribe, the Guthrie will be distributing 500 copies of Little House on the Prairie to participating youngsters.

Arts Orbit is a multisource blog about the local arts scene, featuring both original contributions by Daily Planet writers and entries reprinted from partner blogs and online publications.


Jumpstart, it seems, is attempting to set a record for the world’s largest “shared reading experience”—kids’ help not having been needed to set the previous benchmark a decade ago, when the Starr Report was released.

Choose your school

By James Sanna , TC Daily Planet

Saturday is School Choice Day in both Minneapolis and St. Paul. If you’re the parent of a student, you have the opportunity to send your child to either the public school in your neighborhood or a magnet school. You also have the opportunity to send your child to a charter or a private school. Both school districts, and metro-area charter schools, are planning one-stop information fairs where, they say, you can find out all you need to know about schools where you might want to send your child.

Weekend What's What 1/8-1/11: Hunt and gather

By staff , l'etoile magazine

Way to bounce back! The Twin Cities seem to have easily shaken off their holiday lethargy just in time for a pretty rockin’ weekend. Art exhibits, which have been on holiday hiatus as of late, are back in full effect; while rock shows and dance parties continue to ignite flames all over town. Our suggestion? Go out on the prowl! Meet some new people, see some new sights, and experience some fresh excitement. It is 2009 after all (an excuse we’ll be using throughout January, if not February). MORE »
