April 16

The Rain Barrels finally happened!!! Seems like those have been taking forever to get here. I do not think that there could have been a better Friday. For a while now it only seemed as if our friend was the only one who was learning anything. Friday proved us all wrong! The kids have been soaking up everything that we have been saying. They did an amazing job in the skit but also with the reporters. The group of extra kids that have been coming to see us is getting larger every Friday, and it is as if they are learning just as much. They definitely seem willing to help their fellow classmates in their project. AND THE TREES!!! The trees are doing so well. Of course there are a few that are looking like they will not make it. However, from standing by the picnic table, I counted 14 that are visibly doing well. So who knows, if I walked around to every one, the results might have been very surprising. Our friend says there are 25 trees all together. 14 out of 25, that's pretty good I think. Oh, by the way, one of the cypress tree's top was broken off, so I splinted it back together with our friend. I will check next week to see if there is any improvement.
