April 5th

Hi All!

I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend!  We got a TON of rain, however we should be mostly dried out by Friday so we will plan activities as if we will be.  

I ran into Ms. Anne (the beekeeper) at Safeway and she is very excited about working on the beekeeping project with us. We have a new hive coming and new queens.  If anyone is interested in doing this side project, please let me know! Anyone 10 and older can participate (including parents). Although the original hive set up will probably happen on a Friday, hive maintenance will most likely happen on another day--but we can talk about that more with those who are actually interested. 

 And now on to this week's schedule! 

(Please Note: If your child will be doing a lot of running around and is easily over-heated, please make sure to bring lots of water. The tap water in the shop kitchen is drinkable, but we will not be providing bottled water or cups)

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

Group A-- Ages 5-8

You will be doing P.E. this week. Hopefully the pasture dries out enough by Friday to play out there!  (Bring water if you get thirsty!!)

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. 

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

Group B--Ages 9-12  

You will be doing Gardening this week. Ms. Paula has a lot of fun ideas as always, so come help and learn all sorts of fun new gardening tips!

Materials Needed: 

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

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

A great attitude!

Group C--Ages 13-18

You will be doing Project this week. We will be learning how to make cement pavers to line a path. I'm super excited to see the designs you all come up with!

Materials Needed: 

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

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

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