Taking time out to play in the rain with Teacher Abbey. (You know the nannies thought they were crazy!) Thank you, Abbey, for teaching our children to write, read and to play!

Here is an update that Abbey sent to us this week:

· The older kids know their number places 1-10th and a nifty little song to help remember!

· Hermann has responded well to the one-on-one tutoring with Marcia and Marcia has discovered that his best time of day is right after nap time.

· Abbey began reading Price Caspian with the older kids. They’re all hanging with it thus far (but I think Reece is getting the most out of it) and we just finished chapter 5.

· We had a team of 32 teens from Quesquaias Christian school in Thursday. They played with the kids, did activities, etc., and will be volunteering the first Thursday of every month!

· All of the older kids are finally on the same page with their handwriting.

· Fritzner helped with school two days in the afternoon & it was very helpful.

Thank you, Abbey and Marcia!
