I was raised by humans…so, they didn’t know as much about…” “HUMANS?” Ash and Noel shouted together. “Those tiny, teeny creatures?” Noel said. “And they can’t even fly, right?

Report from SFFS GP Story Camp. Having a wonderful time!

Grumpy Pirates Story Camp with Esme, Katie, Riley, Sophie and Dora is AMAZING! We all wish we could do this for many more days! Excerpt from Day One: 3:10pm Right now they( all but Esme—she had a dentist appt.) are playing on their own having invented an amazing narrative/ story about a family of rabbits. (See short video) where the baby bunny,Lelo(Sophie) wants to run away because she didn’t want to go to bunny classes. Classes on how to be a successful bunny. Faxi(Dora) was making dinner. There were some herbs that they were going to slow. Now Lelo escaped her prison and Katie, the bunny teacher, and Flaxy(Riley) are looking at a map to try and find Lelo. “Carrot seeds are found in deep, wooded areas,” says Katie the bunny teacher.

Doing favorite and least favorite words( because kids are so young there is much less interest to write thi...
