Greetings From BASE!

How are you doing today?

We came across this moving fish craft.  How about this craft as one of our crafts projects when we get back to BASE?  Check it out, make it and then let us know if this a good one for us. 

We found another easy fun craft in celebration of spring:
Let us know if this is another one we should 
make when we get back to Iron Horse. 

Friday will be another Busy Friday.  
It will be from 4:30-5:00.  
Ms Ainsley will host a Show & Tell in google groups.  If you want to participate you will need to send an email to Ms Robin by early Friday morning.  She will be sending out the invites to join at 10:00 am.  Have what you want to show us ready by 4:30.  
Please only one item and only share for 
a couple of minutes so everyone has a chance to share.

Next week's Busy Friday will be an "I Spy" activity.  It will be hosted by Mr Alex.  We can't wait to share this with you.  
Spending time with you makes our day.
You make us happy to have you in our BASE family.

The staff and I hope you are enjoying the nice weather here in Colorado.  Sitting on the front porch and waving to neighbors is nice.  Sitting on the porch without a jacket and neighbors 
waving and saying hi is even better.  We are thankful for each day we have.  
We are looking forward to the future of being able to share our days with you at BASE. 

A bit of fun for you today:

We will be having our Busy Friday this week.  It will be a "Show & Tell" activity with the teens!  Ms Ainsley will be hosting this activity.  Please join us at 4:30.  Send Ms Robin an email letting us know you want to join in the fun.  Please make sure we have the email you will use and parental permission for children to be with us.  We had so much fun with our scavenger hunt last week.   We are excited to see some "showing" from you on Friday.  Just be prepared to show one thing and not for too long.  We need time for everyone to share within our time frame of 4:30-5:00.  We will need your emails by Thursday afternoon so we can send you an invite Friday morning.

Check out our blog on Friday for fun activities and BASE news.
Even though we can only be together with the internet, 
it brightens our day and our hearts 
are filled with love for each of you.  
We look forward to seeing you on Friday.

Howdy from Iron Horse BASE.


How are you doing?  
We have missed you very much.  Each of you are an important part of our lives.  Hopefully with this blog we can reconnect until we see each other at Iron Horse.  It is our intention to have this blog for parents, children and BASE staff.  We would love to have you participate.  Children will need permission from their parents.  We have planned for this Friday is a scavenger hunt.  We are calling these activities our Busy Friday.  It will be held on google groups.  In order for people to participate we need an email send to Ms Robin (rdrobert1@dcsdk12.org) that you plan on joining us for Busy Fridays.  Parents will need to add a written permission in the email that their child may do this.  Make sure we have the correct email address for your child and/or for yourself.  On google groups you will get a list of items to find around your house.  The object of the game is to find all the tiems before the staff.  If the children find them first then there will be a donut hole party when we get back to school.  If the staff finds it first, I owe them a Starbucks.  So lets see who will either get donut holes or Starbucks.  WAIT!  As an added bonus if a parent finds all the items before BASE staff then there will be coffee and donut holes for them and a donut hole for the children. 
Who will be the first to find all the items?
Ms Rachel has put together the list and will be running the scavenger hunt on Friday.

Have you ever wondered about the BASE staff?  


Ms. Rachel loves running and watching movies with her dog Kona, a rescue from Mexico. Her nicknames include Bubba, Bug, Bub, Bean, Bear, and Bologna. Her favorite food is anything that falls on the floor except for carrots. Social distancing is her new favorite activity because it means more time with Mama 




Ms Ainsley:
Hey kiddos! I don't have a pet (sadly) so here's a picture of my brother ;) I miss you guys soooo much!! I hope you're having fun doing school at home! I'm doing school at home too, and I miss seeing my classmates and teachers and especially YOU guys but it is pretty nice to sleep in ;) When I'm not doing school work, I like to go for a walk, play tennis with my sister, practice my hand-lettering (fancy handwriting), do embroidery, play the piano, play card games with my family (have you guys played Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza?! It is SO much fun!!), and call my friends! I hope you guys are finding lots of things to do too! I hope you have an AMAZING day and I can't wait to see all of your faces again!!



Mr. Alex:

“Hey Chicken Nuggets! This is Daisy the French Bulldog who lives with me! She is very clingy and demands constant love and attention so we’ve been passing the time with lots of cuddles, fetching, and walks around the neighborhood. She’s very excited that I’m home so much now but I miss seeing all of your bright happy faces everyday! I can’t wait until we can hang out again doing crafts and gym games! I miss you all so much!”


Mr. Villi and his dog.
Hi BASE!, hope all is well in this interesting times of our lives. I have been keeping busy by working out and watching wrestling as well as school so I can graduate in May I hope this finds you well and have a Wonderful day.  
 

Ms Robin:

This is my dog Roo.  She is a rescue from the Buddy Center.  When I adopted her she was covered in bites.  She was very scared of people especially men and you could see every bone in her body.  I like to take Roo with me to look for Bigfoot and she loves to go camping.  I have miss all of you so much!  I can’t wait to get back and do puzzles and play trash with you.

Are you bored?  
Do you want to make one of our favorite crafts?  Make it and then take a picture of it.  Then send it to Ms Robin (rdroberts1@dcsdk12.org) with parental permission and we will put it in our blog.
Lets see how many different types can be made.  Remember the unicorn kitties?  Let's see what you can make.  Remember to color both sides and to use tape to put together.

To print out: Copy and paste it on Word on your computer.  That was how I was able to print it out.
I tried to just paste it as a word document to this blog but could not.  I will ask a tech savvy person for help next time.

Remember to check our blog on Friday.  Hopefully we will have some kitties to show.  We need your email by noon on Friday so we can invite you to our google group to do our scavenger hunt.  Please remember: "Children we need 
parental permission for you to participate." 

Thank you for visiting our blog.
