Mommio: What We Did Today

Today was an exciting day! It was our first time having morning school over at the Weaver's in their new school building. They have been working hard to get the building up and running so that we can now use the space for our classes and for Adventure Club. It's great! We also had our first breakfast book club meeting- about The Midwife's Apprentice. It went really well- we discussed the first two chapters and then had the kids retell the chapters and draw pictures to go with them to make a book later. We got to help feed some farm animals this morning, which was a big thrill for everyone. We learned more about the chickens and the goats. We also learned all about ornamental garlic and then potted 35 plants of garlic that Tony will use later for his business and give the profits to the the school there. It was hot, and it was work..so after ten minutes or so most of the kids weren't that interested but we worked through it and got it all done. We are going to be taking time to do things like that around their property each week, there is so much to learn and we are so lucky that Robin and Tony have opened up their property to us as a living classroom.
And, if that wasn't enough- we also celebrated Elder's 6th birthday today with cupcakes and a pinata. What a morning- check out the slideshow!
