Joy School Fun

I am so glad that Dalanie is able to have the Joy School experience. And I am glad that I get to have the Joy School experience again. I love putting the lesson together (albeit thrown together and last minute) and having her help me. She loves to help plan and gather supplies.

Instead of heading to the library, we decided to make our own at home. I printed each child a library card they could present to the librarian (each child took a turn being the librarian.) We used a cash register as the computer. They loved scanning and stamping the books.

We also had a magic show, featuring none other than. . . me. There were a few suggestions in the manual, so we ran with them. It was especially funny as guys were in and out working on the house remodel and I had a table cloth tied around my neck, mesmerizing these girls with my skills. Their favorite was a hat and water trick. They tried replicating it, only to find that it didn't work so well.
