So much fun in a pile of leaves!

The first part of this week has been a lot of fun in the Pouncing Pumas camp. On Monday we ventured over to the College/Shaw library and looked at books on music and sports. All the group has been learning how to search things on the computer, and they're catching on quickly. Sometimes they want to look for books on questionable subject matter [I'm sure you can guess], but luckily the library doesn't carry material on that so usually the search moves on to books they can actually read while we're there.

The sun was shining on Tuesday so we went down to the park and played some outdoor games. On the way the kids found a giant leaf pile so we stopped to jump in it for a while. They had a blast making it as tall as they could, and took turns jumping through it. Pretty hilarious to watch the excitement build. Once we got to the park, we played an invented game called "Macaroni", (in which the giggling noodles run away from the spoon). It was a hit, a lot of laughs and funny voices throughout the game.

Wednesday was a baking day! We headed over to Salvador's house on a bus and a streetcar (they were great on both) and gathered up the ingredients. We made a very simple cookie recipe, two different batches to satisfy everyone's requests, and they tasted delicious. Tasks were set out for mixing, measuring and choosing ingredients. The end results were warm, gooey cookies straight out of the oven. We played a series of get-you-energy-out games in the basement afterwards to burn off that sugar!

I'll post another update on Friday evening to re-cap the rest of the week.
Hope the beginning of your weeks were lovely!
