VOLTA FRIDAY FUNDAY!

(Afterward, at snack, we asked the children if they enjoyed the park today)

Cannon: It's the best.
Palmer:  I like playing with Oliver and Dakota, and the brownies.
Grace:   I liked playing with Lane, Gigi, Nora, and Maren.  And when Lane told us to, "Skip".
Lane:  Our show?
Grace. Yes.  And playing mighty pups.  And the brownies.  
Fletcher:  It was the best, amazingest day ever.
Palmer: Me and Wolf spinning so fast... We got dizzy.
Oliver:  Playing was the best time ever at Volta Park.  
Cannon: You know the worst thing ever?  That Dakota is leaving tomorrow.

Dakota's Last Day :(

We are so sad to have to say farewell to our good friend Dakota, who is going to switch schools starting Monday.  While it's hard to say goodbye, we know she'll be really happy being at school close to home, and alongside her brothers.

Dakota:  I'm a little bit sad I'm leaving my school.  But a little bit excited to go to the boys' school.
Aida:  I'm gonna miss you Dakota.
Dakota:  But my mom and dad are still trying to schedule a playdate!
 

To commemorate the occasion we snacked on some delicious brownies that Pod A baked.  We will miss you so much Dakota!  Please come back and visit us sometime! ​​

International Mystery Reader!

First was a visit from Nora's cousin, Tala (age 7), all the way from JAPAN!

Pod A
Other events from our day:  Huge towers in construction, and testing out a new style of printmaking!

Pod B

After snack, Dakota chose the game Pesky Pirates. We ran out of time to completely finish the game, but she and Maren were the winners with 12 gold coins.

Later in the day, Aida's mom Negar read books for Pod B.
After finishing Elephants Can't Dance we played a fun round of freeze dance.
