Saturday Workshop

On Saturday, Heidi and I did a writing workshop for the Standard IV class, which is preparing for a test to take to get into high-school. The weakest subject areas here are reading and writing so much practice is needed. So, we spent Saturday morning working with the kids. Here are a few pictures. It was a good time, I enjoyed working with the older students. They are real sweet and eager to learn new tricks and methods to writing. Here you can see Heidi looking at some baby rats that some girls found in the creek. They just loved these nasty little things and as you can see, one girl befriended hers and it just sat on her notebook as I taught the lesson- it took a bit getting use to but after awhile I was able to come close to her and read her work! ha! and yes the things were cute but come on, they're rats!
