Fun Week!

Mar. 1/11

..... her love for games

Mar. 2/11

..... her interest in learning 

Mar. 3/11

..... her connections with people 

We were lucky enough to receive a visit from "the squirrel" from qrok.  The lead singer/songwriter of the band that does all of the Camp Qwanoes music offered to visit Jaymi, after hearing about her recent surgery.  He not only visited to chat, but he sang a bunch of songs as well, brought some free CDs for Jaymi, a tiny silver cross, and a special "Jaymi broadcast" made just for her!

Although she was her typical, quiet, non-verbal (in front of new people) self, she was thrilled.

Mar. 4/11

..... her spontaneity

Jaymi loves to learn, and I love to teach her.  So we are always looking for ideas of new and exciting topics to study.  We decided one day, that it would be so much fun to study chocolate!

So we did.

She has learned how chocolate is made from cacao beans and we have made our own chocolate as well.

She has charted our opinions on various types of chocolate, and explored how it tastes, smells, feels, looks, and sounds.

We have re-read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, along with some great worksheets to go with the book.

And we ended with some 'chocolate math', which involved division of a sectioned chocolate bar, and reviewing fractions, and of course, eating the chocolate.
