Summer camp day #1

With only three children this week it sure made making plans pretty easy. On our first day we went to WRES playground to play with Playful Penguins group in the morning after having Ella's favourite-cheese biscuits, for snack.

The children picked fresh garden peas and carrots from the garden to go with pizza for lunch. 

This afternoon was a cloudy kind if day and I have been craving gingerbread & fresh whipped cream since my family's visit to King's Landing this summer so, created a really awesome gingerbread-cooking smell in my house while the kiddos played school downstairs. ( I guess they must be ready for next week to start!)  

We also made homemade bubbles to create bubble art and the highlight if the day was-BUG CATCHING! We spent some time in the field out back and caught some grasshoppers in the personal bug catching necklaces. Skye's fun fact: Ella is NOT afraid of grasshoppers! Another fun fact: grasshoppers are herbivores and eat half their body weight in plants every day! 

Super-fun camp day #1!!!

Around the world in a school year

This year after school we will be exploring the world!!! We will choose 8 countries and explore, one every 4-5 weeks. The children will choose the countries that they are interested in learning about. Mexico, China, Scotland & Australia have already been chosen. 

We will research a little about the celebrations, food, crafts and customs of each country. 

If your child is coming after school this year, tell them to think about what country they would like to explore and you can email me! 

Spider babies

Isabel (preschool) was asking me about spiders lat week after she watched charlottes web. She had lots of questions about spider mommies and their babies. We

Spent some time researching on the Internet and even got to enjoy a past preschool spider project! Today when I went to walk Skye to school, right beside our front door, hundreds of baby spiders!! The preschoolers were excited to watch them. 

Nacho bar on a PD day

This kiddies talked me into a nacho be for lunch today while we were together for a PD day. 

We made a list of what we wanted, walked to the superstore and shopped for the ingredients, the children worked the self-serve checkout and bagged the groceries. 

When we got back from our walk everyone pitched in to prepare; peeling and cutting cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, scallions and grating cheese and set up the nacho 'buffet'. Everyone made their own plate (or 2 or 3 plates!!!) and did we ever enjoy our creation! The children agreed that it was the best PD day activity ever!!!
