Friday

On Friday, I did "math" with some of the K/1's. Actually, the painting pictures using foam shapes turned into more of an art lesson than a math lesson on shapes! They got really excited about mixing paints and then we somehow ended up doing fingerpaints. They loved it! I was scrubbing the table for a while after school was out...

Wish you could meet them - they're wonderful kids!


Friday was a short school day. It ended at noon and fewer students showed up than normal 'cause it was the day that everyone goes to town (i.e. Williams Lake). Apparently, you can't go to the store in Williams Lake on Fridays without running into people you know and having a chat with them - it becomes a social event! To my teacher's surprise, six out of the nine children in our class showed up. I got to do a gym lesson with them outside which was fun - played octopus and tag on the playground. Felt a little like being back at Barnabas - especially when the children insisted that I be It for tag and they were all too fast for me!


I wanted to add some more scenic pics but this dial-up connection isn't the greatest, so it might have to wait until Monday when I'm at the school. In the meantime, I've been having a relaxing weekend and Jill has taken us to some pretty places in the region. We've seen lots of wildlife, including a black bear! But more on that later...
