Summer with the Arts!!!!!!

Yay!!!!!!!!! Summer with the Arts officially started today....yippee! I can not tell you how much I love working at SWTA! If you do not know what in the world SWTA is and you are thinking " why is she posting about this when I don't know what it is", then you can continue reading....!

Everyone (kindergardeners- 5th graders, youth helpers(me), and adults) get to Rich Fork at 9:00am. Everyone then splits up into different groups, and those groups go to different classes. The different classes are- Drama, Theory, Handbells, Recreation, and Piano Lab. Once they have gone to their classes everyone comes together for lunch(that the volunteers cook for you each day). After that the Kin., 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders go to story telling and Choreography and the 4th and 5th graders go to Choreography and handbells(to actually learn to play a song). After those classes Everyone gathers back together to learn to sing the songs for the musical that everyone will present at the end of the week. Anyway, all together it is a busy and tiring week, but you have a wonderful time pouring your heart out into the kids that you are working with(and greatly enjoy yourself doing it)!

P.S. I am working with the 1st and 2nd graders!!!!! Love them to pieces!!!

Maggie's Adventure

Thursday I wrote a children's book called "Maggie's Adventure" .....I thought that you might enjoy reading it!

Maggie had a box, a pink box. With this box and a handful of imagination, she could go anywhere, from the deserts of Africa to the rainforests of Brazil, all in her backyard!

One day Maggie was playing outside. In her backyard she had a magnificent swing set. She decided that she would travel the world that day.

First she had to cross the raging waters of a river in a rain forest. “ I guess I will have to swing on the vines, just like the monkeys do.” She said excitedly.

After swinging on the vines in the jungle she came to a river that had a bridge that was broken. “I suppose that I will have to swim across.” Maggie said eagerly.

Once Maggie had swam across the river she found a beach. “I think that I am going to have a little fun and build a sandcastle!”

Once Maggie had built her sandcastle she came to a beautiful little house. Then she said, “ It doesn’t appear that anyone is home, so I think that I will go on inside.”

After she had gone into the little house, she came to a humongus, towering mountain. “holy moly!” She exclaimed, “ I am going to try and climb it.”

After she came to the top of the mountain she saw that it was getting dark outside, so she headed back down the mountain, to make her long journey home.She passed the little house, the beautiful beach, the peaceful river, the jungle, and finally she was back home.

Her mother had a warm dinner waiting on the table just for her. Maggie had a great day traveling the world, but she was glad to be home with her family!

The End!!!!!!

Sonia B.

Have I mentioned how this little girl's language has been coming along.....

...wonderfully really. She has been learning new words everyday. One of her favorite things to do is to name all of her body parts. She LOVES to do that. Sonia is learning so fast, it is incredible. Today she saw deodorant, brought it to my dad and lifted up her arm so it showed her armpits(have I mentioned she is soooo smart). My dad helped her out and started to put deodorant on her tiny armpits. Then she says, " I tikawish..." and laughed...so did my dad...we all did after he told us. I thought that it was too funny. I love her so much! Thanks for reading~Bailey~Psalm 56:3

Jammin into Summer

The seven jars of Cherry Jam.......yummy!

My Nana and I sitting behind our many jars of strawberry and blueberry jam that we worked so hard for! This is the third year that we have made jam together, I will always remember the memories that we have made together.

Last weekend my grandma and I made two batches of strawberry jam and one batch of blueberry. Then today we went and picked cherries, so when we got home my mom and I made some cherry jam. Wow, is it all so good(I used the recipe in the Sure Jell packet)! I hope you all have a wonderful Memorial Day with your families! Thanks for reading~Bailey~Psalm 56:3~
