Our winning streak has been expanded to TWO games in the regular season! We are amazing! (There is a bit of sarcasm stuck in there, but it is exciting to win 2 games.) We only had four girls that were able to play, which meant we could have a total of eight players on the field (four girls, four boys). For those that don't know much about softball, that means we only had two outfielders, or we were two short in the outfield. We did a great job though. Most of us had some good hits, throws, and catches, and that was encouraging. We play again on Monday; we'll see if we can keep the streak alive.
On another note, I had my second week of Garden Camp. Today I taught the kids about the water cycle. We sang Itsy-Bitsy Spider to learn about the cycle a bit, did a "cheer" (rain, ground, evaporate!), and put together a picture puzzle to color. It was quite fun. In another station, they learned about what a small percentage of fresh water there is on the earth and then made necklaces to represent that. In the third station, they harvested spinach, garlic, and cilantro from the garden to make quesadillas for snack. It was quite a bit of fun. The local TV station (and I mean really local, like only Alamosa can get it) came to tape some of the time. So, I am now famous in a small town, or will be after the 6 o'clock news. Actually, I don't if I am even on the news, but it will be good publicity for the garden.
