March 5th

Hi All!

Phew! All baby cows and goats have been delivered, healthy, and are doing well. Now we wait for our baby geese to hatch--probably sometime in April. Baby geese are super cute! But baby geese don't need my help to hatch, so it doesn't affect our Friday activities at all ;-). 

Ongoing Requests:

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:

Schedule for Friday, March 5, 2021

From 10-Noon(ish) we will break into group activities:

Group A-- Ages 5-8

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

Group B-- Ages 9-12

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!

Materials Needed:

Garden gloves if you want them

Group C-- Ages 13-18

You will be working with giant slingshots and catapults this week. I won't lie...I have been having a lot of fun with this project :-D. Hopefully you all do too!

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:

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.
