We played outside, listened to a read aloud, looked at stories, working on reading and writing, played with cubes, and had Camp Invention. We colored our boat logs and we put something over them and we tested them to see if they went underwater but some of them got wet and then if not that's ok too. Twelve of our friends tested their boat logs. During lunch we learned about guide dogs and got to see a real guide dog named Spirit practicing his job! Here are some pictures from today!

We are so excited for tomorrow! I wonder what we will learn on Tuesday.... Here are some things our friends said today: "It was fun and I made new friends" - Zion "I liked playing outside" - Katy "I made new friends" - Camryn
