One more crazy week before break. It seems like summer just started! We've had a lot of fun and I think the kids who learned to swim, and that's most of them, have learned something really precious they will cherish always.
I'm thinking we could swim this winter as well since most of our kids know how!
Some of the quieter kids, like Justin and Morgan and Madison and Jasmine have been my real delight because they always let the older and louder kids get the limelight, and this time their attempt to swim has been truly a spectacular effort.
Justin's grandparents came to watch and were surprised at how well he did. Flinging one's body into deep water over the head and then continuing to stroke another ten yards into possible danger and then turning around and swimming back is "knowing how to swim."Wednesday we might go to the Fair. Then it's the big trip on Friday to the lake. Please let us know if you want to cook out or if you want regular summer lunch.
Today is board day. We'll take as many kids to the board as want to go.
New thing! On Thursday we are distributing summer report cards. These were developed by Miss Kelly. We were talking about how important our summer program is, and how our regular report card did not cover it properly, so Kelly developed a summer one. This will be part of a child's official record.
The pictures were taken by Miss Kelly.
