This week’s edition of Make It a Splendid Week features artwork and a piece of creative writing all about glasses! From blocking harmful sun rays, to filtering blue light, or to helping us see the animals at the zoo – glasses are a helpful tool! Even though dogs don’t wear glasses – we think Abigail’s artwork is very cute! Make It A Splendid Week!

My New Glasses

Oh, new glasses,
I take care of you.
I love you.
You glow in the sun.
My mom bought you for me
at Wal-Mart.
You are made of glass,
and you make me look pretty.
You help me see everything,
like animals at the zoo.

-Jackeline, age 7
