Activities outside of school

Cups really enjoyed taking the trial class with her two girlfriends. Unfortunately I did not register timely, and the class filled up. Next session?!

 Cups met the reading challenge (every day of the summer minus up to seven days) and attended the pancake breakfast, where they feasted, played games, received prizes and either a poster or a book and missed a little bit of class.

 The kids helped a lot with getting fish tanks ready for sale at WestFest. They helped open packages. Gofres helped package fish food while Cups was in school.

 Cups placed colored gravel into the tanks. I really appreciated their help and support.

 Cups continues to have too much fun with her face painting kit, and Gofres is a ready participant. Here she painted Batman, Superman and Flash on him.

Cups is a thinker. I asked her to tape the fish food to these My Fun Fish tanks, and she folded the bags in half before taping them to the boxes.

 The girls, fashioning their "prized" jewelry, counted out change for more ride/game tickets, putting their education to work.

 The girls took a break from playing. They really were enjoying themselves.

 Cups explained how My Fun Fish tank worked to a few people and sold one!

 It was sweet to see how she played with different friends.

 Cups was very excited about winning another fish and gave this one to Gofres.

 Cups' new fish in her My Fun Fish tank. When fresh water is added from the top, dirty water comes up the pipe and leaves by the spout on the side of the tank. Fish stay in the water while the water gets changed.

Gofres liked fishing for prizes.

 Chinese school always starts WestFest weekend. Cups is doing well with homework. This was her initial reaction to it after having had the summer off.

I did succeed with signing her up for pottery. We waited, and the teacher and the other student never showed up for the first class. The kids still had a great time by the water on a beautiful day.
