Kayak School

This past weekend, we had a chance to take out our kayaks. This was Baila's first time in her own kayak. She was a bit nervous, but we reassured her that she could hook on to one of our kayaks if she got tired. For the last year, she had ridden with me in a tandem kayak and practiced paddling with her own paddle. When she got into her own boat, she simply paddled away!

Tye-Dye Project

Last week we had a modified summer school schedule. I completed the last week of my 2 year principal training fellowship in Brooklyn! Unfortunately for the kids, I was out of the house for 12 hours each day (4 hours of commuting to and from Brooklyn - yuk!) Bubbe and Zayde were the best substitutes and kept the kids busy with all sorts of fun things. On Friday, we got back to work writing stories and working on our handwriting. For our craft project we colored white t-shirts.
