Our first day of summer break brought us rainy chilly weather. Boo. But on the bright side, we were planning to go to the library anyway and sign up for the summer reading program. We got a lot of reading done and checked out some great books. We've started reading
Poppy by Avi together at home. It's about a field mouse named Poppy and it's already action packed. Her boyfriend, Ragweed, was already eaten up by the wicked owl, Mr. Ocax, who enjoys making others feel afraid. We also wrote in our summer journals and shared them with each other.
Today, we went to the library again for story time. The reading club theme is "Be Creative" so we learned about different types of music and instruments. Even two sticks can bring quite the music and adventure. And we were able to play at the park after story time. The weather was beautiful. Warm in the sun, but a cool breeze would blow from time to time.
Next week we will need to start some math fact practices. Plus a little cursive review for the older kids and letter recognition for the younger ones.
We also got an email from Mrs. Jackson, so perhaps a few summer pen pals are in order.
We are looking forward to lots of fun this summer.
So this is Juggling Jeff.
He says juggling takes balance.
Juggling Jeff is juggling the "Pins of Doom" . . . dom dom doooom . . .
He was actually kinda funny.
Here is Juggling Jeff in action. This is his final trick. The grand finale!!! (and he very nearly backs up on the girls behind him . . . I was a bit scared for them . . . but everyone made it out alive.) :)
We enjoy getting outside in the summer. We go to the park nearly everyday. Here are some photos of us playing ball on the tennis court at the park today.
Da Boyz
Umm . . . wrong racket? 
Ooooh . . . Work it, Girls!!! 
This ball is gonna get it!
