You know it's Tuesday when...

okay, there's no set thing to let you know what day it is...SO let's see. Today we had Diego, Ripley, Jacob, William, Sean, Evan, Troy, EliJah and Judah at school. They played a lot of different games and spent a lot of time role playing as different characters. Quite interesting what they pick up from we supposedly learned adults. I will try to post some of the pictures and possibly the video on You Tube tomorrow. We also sat outside a bit and made a craft, the Ojo de Dios, with sticks we picked up in the yard. It was a lot of fun and hopefully we will do it again in the future using multiple colors of yarn. Adults volunteering did some cleaning and organizing for the upcoming move and there was plenty of help from youthful volunteers.

The late afternoon saw most kids winding down while playing on the computers and surfing You Tube in search of Pokemon related videos. It was a good day to be a kid at The Real School. Left alone to navigate the major portion of their day, the kids are happier and only need assistance for those disagreements that can't be immediately negotiated or when they need help making food. Kids are amazing! See you tomorrow.

In Solidarity,
