January 27th

Hi All-

I'm so sorry we had to miss last week.  It's so hard to tell ahead of time if the mud will dry in time or not when we have a heavy rain.  Thankfully this week we are all dry so we can meet! :-)

Now for the updates:

First, Mr. D: For those of you who were not able to attend on the 13th, Mr. D. fell off a ladder in the beginning of January. He broke his rib in 2 places, his wrist, and his pelvis. He thankfully did not require surgery on ANY of his breaks and he is doing well. However, he needs to be on bedrest for a full 4-6 weeks and then on light duty for another 4 weeks. If anyone would be willing to help out with PE for Group B and Group C, please let me know as soon as possible. 

Second, for those of you who live in Pinal County and are interested in participating in the Pinal County Fair OR for those who just want to attend the Pinal County Fair, see last week's post for more details: Information on the Pinal County Fair

Third, just an FYI: because we were unable to participate in the planned activities for January 13th, we are repeating the schedule this week.  Should be fun! 

Schedule for Friday, January 27, 2023

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

Group A-- Ages 5-8

You will be doing P.E. this week. Miss Honor has come up with lots of fun games to play with you all. Come prepared to run and have fun!  

Please note: P.E. will be happening in the pasture.  It is important that those in the pasture follow the code of conduct rules for the animals. No chasing animals. No picking up animals. Be nice to any animal that approaches you. 

Parents, if your little ones tend to wander, please stay close by. You are responsible for taking your child to the restroom or providing them with water if they get thirsty. Try to remind them that this is a group activity, and they should try to stick with their group as much as possible. That will really help keep things flowing smoothly for everyone. <3

Materials Needed: 

Sunscreen and Water Bottles...if you so desire. 

And clothes/shoes that you don't mind getting dirty.

Group B--Ages 9-12

You will be doing the Project this week. This week you will be working together in teams to solve a scavenger hunt. Be prepared to do some work to solve some puzzles and win a (SMALL) prize! Note: you will be using paint, so don't wear your nicest clothes.

Materials Needed: 

Sunscreen and Water Bottles...if you so desire. 

Clothes/shoes that you don't mind getting dirty.

A great attitude!

Group C--Ages 13-18

You will be doing Gardening this week. You will be working with Ms. Paula to grow some mushrooms from scratch!  Come prepared to get dirty and have fun!

Materials Needed: 

Sunscreen and Water Bottles...if you so desire. 

Gardening gloves if you want to wear them.

Those teenagers that do not feel like participating in Gardening are welcome to volunteer with Group A. Please note: you WILL be put to work if you volunteer in that capacity!

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.
