We had so much fun doing cardio with Mr Villi that we are going to try to do them once a week. Exercise Wednesday with Mr. Villi. From 3:30-4:00. Let Ms Robin know if you are interested in joining us to get our blood pumping. We need to know by Tuesday afternoon. So email invites are sent. This is open for both parents and children. We will start it next week.
This week's Busy Friday will be the Zoey/Dylan Scavenger Hunt. It will be hosted by Ms Robin. Please email Ms Robin if you are interested in joining us. It will be from 4:30-5:00. She will need you to email her by Thursday afternoon so she can send invites Friday morning. This scavenger hunt will be combined with show and tell of what you find during the hunt.
It will be fun. Come join us!
Thank you Zoey and Dylan for the ideas.
Watch this fun story. It was read by Oprah Winfrey.
Enjoy!
Remember when we were at the Denver Zoo and we got the penguins to jump into the water?
We found this penguin cam.
Too bad we can't chant 1, 2, 3, JUMP! To get them into the water.
A Big Thank you to Mr Alex for making our special Home BASE picture for our blog. You did a wonderful job.
Also a big Thank you to Ms Rachel for putting it in this format for us. Great job.
It has been over a month since BASE has been closed.
For us not seeing you every day has left a big hole in our lives.
So how you doing and how do you fill that missing hole?
Here are some suggestions that may help until we meet again.
Make plans and then do it. Is there something you always wanted to do but never had time? Read that book you always wanted to read. You can download an app to check out eBooks for your I-pad. It is so easy that even Ms Robin can do it.
Have you thought about doing something special for other people? Random acts of kindness for your family? Making something special for a friend or neighbor? You can do acts of kindness even when you are staying home to keep everyone safe.
Have you ever written a letter and mailed it to someone? That would be a very nice surprise for someone. Doing something for someone else does make you feel better and keeps you occupied in a good way.
Take your dog for a walk around the block.
Go through your toys and organize them. Throw away broken ones and box up toys you haven't played with in a long time to give to charity.
Learn to bake cookies.
Put your thoughts in a journal. Anne Frank during WWII hid up in an attic for 2 years from the Nazi and wrote down her thoughts. Her thoughts became a gripping book that should be read by everyone. It is called the Diary of Anne Frank.
Kindness matters. It may not save the world but it will touch the life of one person.
Be the kind person.
We have so many crafty people at BASE.
Your crafts turn out so good. Why not make a fun craft?
Here are instructions to make the unicorn bobble head craft we have done at BASE:
We have planned a Busy Friday for this week. It will be doing some cardio with Villi.
Please join us. Remember to send an email by Thursday evening, letting us know you want to join us and parents need to give permission for their child to do this. It is from 4:30-5:00. Ms Robin will send out invites Friday morning around 10:00. Please make sure you accept the invite.
On Friday, you will need space to move around freely.
We suggest you put your computer on a table against the wall facing you while standing in the middle of the room. We do not recommend doing this in the kitchen or small room with lots of furniture.
Each one of you are in our hearts. We love and miss everyone of you.
One part of not being at Iron Horse is missing the books/stories. Our teachers and staff are such good readers. They are very good at reading to their classes. Ms Ainsley uses this link to hear stories read by actors. It is very good. We hope you will get on it and enjoy some books read to you. Ms Robin already heard 2 stories this morning and Ms Ainsley's little brother listens to them.
We will have a Busy Friday this week. It will be hosted by Mr. Alex. He will be doing some "Eye Spy"! Come join us on google groups this Friday from 4:30-5:00. Send Ms Robin an email if you want to join us. Don't forget to let us know which email you will use and permission for
any BASE child to join in the fun. We need you to let Ms Robin know by Thursday evening.
She will send out invites after 10:00 am on Friday. We would love to have you join us .
