Mud Puppies

The ways they come up with to play surely keep us all entertained.

I exchanged boys for Mud Puppies!

Hmm, I'm not sure the story blankets will ever be white again.

 

It is amazing how easily they switch from play to work as we go through our morning.

This guy wrote such a great letter to Mr. Mark.

Ms. Madeline is still hanging in with us.

Piggy backing the discussion yesterday about tracking. So many times I see such eager pleasers, that can still miss the point entirely.  If they've chosen a text that is a bit difficult, I will  share read and ask them to track while I read.  Again, I have to watch carefully, because they dutifully poke at each word, but may not be looking or may be on a way wrong word.  We keep working at it and a host of other helpers as you can see.  Thank you Summer Camp Team for all your hard work.  

To date we've ended Wednesdays in the creek.  Today we had to go in the small creek as the water was too high and swift in the big creek for my comfort.

This creek is equally loved.

It seems the big boys didn't want to miss out on mud coverage and had a mud ball fight at their end of the creek.  They came forth looking like swamp monsters. 

Goodness, this weather has caused me some stress.  Praise God for another storm free day and muddy, happy, safe kiddos.

Have a great Fourth of July week!
