September 15th, End of Week 3

Today wrapped up the end of another wonderful week. We are seeing great progress as the children are becoming noticeably more comfortable with the routine and being away from their parents (especially for those students who have been experiencing school for the very first time). We had a beautiful day to end our week with a walk in the sunshine and a picnic on a grassy hill on campus. The children enjoyed their sac lunch as they observed the commotion of a busy campus along with the insects, birds and squirrels. The children basked in the sun on this flawless day while taking in their surroundings and the fresh brisk air of the fall season on the horizon. We finished lunch with a story under a tree and had an eventful walk back to the CDLL, sticking with our groups and singing songs all the way back to our destination. Our adventure was exciting but there is no place like home. Everyone was glad to be back with time left to play outside!  The children were very mindful of their surroundings and handled the walk very well. Our picnic lunch was indeed a success! 


"You guys make an excellent caboose", Mason shouts back to the last group! 


Some of the children were fearful of some of the insects flying and crawling around, but were reassured that they were harmless as long as they didn't hit or swat at them. "I'm going to leave a little piece of my sandwich out for the bee to eat, he's probably hungry too"! -Armony



The children were somewhat distracted by the hustle and bustle of life on campus, but were still able to draw attention to Mrs. Nims for a short story. "This is my favorite part of the day" Aiden M. says energetically!
