October 4th

Hi All!

I hope you had a wonderful Friday without me! It looks like we had a small group (especially the little ones!!), but it sounds like those that braved the heat had a good time. So thankful for the hard work of Ms. Paula, Mr. D., Ariana, and Samuel for running things for us last week!

I had a great time visiting family up in Iowa, but I am excited to be back again this week.

Schedule for Friday, October 4, 2024

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

Group A-- Ages 5-8

You will be doing Gardening this week. Ms. Paula always has something fun planned for the littles. Come play in the dirt and enjoy some fresh air!

Materials Needed: 

A water bottle to drink out of (if you think you may get thirsty)

Sunscreen...if you so desire. 

Gardening gloves...if you so desire. 

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

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. 💗

Group B--Ages 9-12

You will be doing the Project this week. Like I said before, we are going to do the 2-Liter Bottle Rockets. You will need to bring your own EMPTY 2-Liter Soda Bottle (or Pop Bottle if you're from the MidWest). Preferably more than one if you have them!  It is important that they are 2-liters instead of 1-liters...1-liter bottles don't fit on the launcher as well. We will learn about the science behind rocket propulsion and then make some rockets that we will shoot off in the pasture. Note: not a lot of shade in the pasture, so bring a hat or sunscreen or an umbrella or some sort of mixture of all of these. 

Materials Needed: 

EMPTY 2-Liter bottles. At least one. More is better in case other people forget <3

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 are technically doing P.E. this week, but that includes shooting off the model rockets you made last week. Mr. D. cannot wait to set these off!  If there's time, he might have you run around a bit, but chances are you will get all the running you need chasing the rockets. 

Materials Needed: 

Water bottles

Sunscreen/hat (you will be in the pasture)

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

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.
