Hi All!
Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather! Friday should be a great day!
And for those who have been patiently waiting...this happened today:
If you have been gifted in the ability to teach larger groups, and would like to, and are not otherwise needed, we could use some help with running Group A PE games or crafts. This would not be every week and I would be happy to come up with activities for you if necessary--I just need someone to help facilitate the activities. Let me know if this is something you would like to do. If you can't do this, please pray for someone who LIKES to do this.
Here is what is on the agenda for this week:
From 10-Noon(ish) we will break into group activities:
Group A-- Ages 5-8
We will be learning about goats this week! We won't be milking them like we did with Group B (that was just way too complicated for all those kids!), but we will still be learning about dairy goats, making and sampling several types of farmer's cheese, taking some lucky pack goats for a short walk, and, of course, GENTLY playing with some baby goats (Please remember, my goats trust me to keep their babies safe, which is why they allow us to play with them. If I see anyone chasing goats or trying to pick up goats, you will be removed from the pasture. The goats will come to you if you let them come on their own.)
Materials Needed:
We will be getting dirty with the goats. Do not wear your best clothes--they may be chewed on.
We will be eating cheese and crackers. If you have special allergy needs, but want to eat with the rest of the group, please bring something for that purpose. We will have saltines as well as vanilla wafers.
Group B-- Ages 9-12
You will be doing PE this week. Sunscreen and water bottles are recommended. Prepare to run and have fun in the sun!
Materials Needed:
Tennis shoes and comfortable clothes
Water
Group C-- Ages 13-18
You will be doing Gardening this week. Please be prepared to get dirty. If you want to wear gardening gloves, please bring your own. Come prepared to learn, since Ms. Paula is a wealth of information!
Please note: Teens are held to a slightly higher standard than the younger kids. If you choose not to participate in the activity of the day, we will "volunteer" you to help with the younger kids. A respectful, pleasant attitude is expected. You have been warned...
Materials Needed:
None

Movement Therapy/Stretching with Ms. Paula
After the group activities, Ms. Paula will host a Movement Therapy/Stretching class in the front yard area. Please let Ms. Paula know if you are wanting to do this class. She doesn't want to interfere with anyone's fun by announcing it is happening, but she would love to come get you if you are wanting to stretch with her. All body types/ strength levels are encouraged to attend. Ms. Paula is absolutely AMAZING. She designs her stretches based on the needs of the class, which she can see simply by how you normally move.

Picnic Lunch
Everyone is welcome to stay and have a picnic lunch in the backyard area. You are responsible for bringing your own lunch. Please do not feed any animals with that lunch and please make sure all garbage is disposed of in the dumpster or garbage can.
