Chickens, Sunshine, & A Frog Named Ribbit

Well...we decided to let our chickens out of their coop this morning.  We put our dogs up and let them out. They walked around the school pecking and eating all morning while we played, explored, and learned!  It was fun and then we just walked them back to their coop...with some left over Cheez It’s of course!  My mom read the kiddos a book about blue birds and showed them our blue bird box.  

My sweet little girl loves frogs and I told her we have a ton at our house.  She wanted me to catch one..so of course I was up looking for frogs the other night and found one!  She loves him and she named him “Ribbit.”  He is now our class pet; or should I say class critter. 🤣

Ribbit rested with her today.  It was pretty cute.

One of my students loves to build, dig tunnels, create, and cook!  He’s been cooking in our mud kitchen all week.

One more thing happened today...we got our “Laundry Station” going.  Washing, hanging, and folding to come.  Good stuff....I even had a little one who raked some leaves for me!  He was kind and helpful.

It’s been a fun fun week for us and we still have Friday!

The First Egg

 With weather like it was today...there was rarely “inside” time.  Bare feet all day and we loved every minute..yes, me as well! Lol 

  We made ourselves stop, go in for lunch, and rest for a bit.  Other than that...it was all day outside.  The humidity was low and it was so nice.  There were some exciting things happening around here.  Our chickens laid their very first egg, Emmy caught a bug with the bug kit, and Drayke made the best soup for me!

We enjoyed making mud pies, painting our names with mud, and counting rocks.

Sutton started our day off right by cooking pancakes while we explored crystals.

I am so thankful for today.

Let’s do it again tomorrow!

                          

   

First Day!

Today was all that I imagined it to be.  It was a calm, fun, enjoyable day.  My kiddos enjoyed the outdoor learning area as well as the “Camper Classroom”.  

There are a lot of friends and family who have helped us and I want to say thank you!  Brian’s parents, Wayne and Karen, with the camper, toys, and lots of goodies.  I’ve had many friends who have gone out of their way to give us things to use here.  It’s just been wonderful and I appreciate everyone.  Also..my encouragers..I have some wonderful encouragers and prayer warriors! There is just nothing like it.  Here are a few photos from our first day.
