At Grandma's house we did some of our reading and a LOT of swimming. The girls improved, and I found a reason for water wings... Evie is fearless, and the wings let her do all the activities the big girls were doing without us saying 'No!' too many times. She LOVED the freedom, and is quite the swimmer! She was jumping off the diving board and going down the slide more than the big girls were! Not the best pictures of their abilities... but here's some decent shots. Julianna can swim, but wanted the wings because Evie had them... Jayden and Grace are really good swimmers and don't need to jump in the shallow end nor do they need Matthew to catch them...
Bible school was a great, but exhausting, time for everyone. They all learned a lot and had a really good time.... LOTS of crafts and games!
We did not finish the Pooh Bear or Brer Rabbit books, but everything else was read and learned.... we will finish those books this next week. I cannot get them to say the poem, but I'm 90% sure they know it because I've said it to them so many times :) So now we are off to a new poem... again by Christina Rossetti. This one is "Mix a Pancake"
Mix a pancake,
Stir a pancake,
Pop it in the pan;
Fry the pancake;
Toss the pancake, --
Catch it if you can.
I've also been teaching Julianna "Bean Porridge Hot" and other little rhymes that the others know.
Someday it will not be so hot outside and we'll actually get outdoors a lot more....
