Message of the day: The best way to predict the future is to invent it. Attributed to Alan Kay and shared by Vanessa

On Friday morning we enjoyed delicious ham covered with scallions and poached eggs for breakfast.

Amanda’s group explored the outdoors during a nature walk.  Erica equally challenged and entertained her group during a scavenger hunt around Reymontowka. Vanessa’s group wrote summaries of short stories and Shelby’s group played a fun game of scrabble.  Lori sang songs and danced with her students.  Amy’s group sang about Big Macs and then ordered from menus they had created.  Joanna, Mark, and Jordan’s group played Bingo, and practiced sentences during a nature walk. Megan’s group drew pictures and created short stories to go along with them.  

Lori talked about the wonders of Disney World during her presentation. The kids “oohed” and “ahhed” to see a video of the fireworks display in EPCOT. Many of them even inquired about the prices of Disney World so that they could begin saving up for a trip.  

Everyone rushed  to eat a lovely lunch of chicken filled with cheese paired with coleslaw before departing for the train station to go on their separate weekend adventures.

Joanna, Mark, and Jordan traveled to Warsaw and met with a family friend.  Lori explored the city of Lodz. Amy, Amanda, Erica, Megan,  Vanessa, and Shelby experienced the beauty and great shopping in Krakow and the sadness of Auschwitz.  After the long train ride, we were greeted with the friendly faces of the children and some parents as well as a wonderful dinner of bigos. With a great weekend away behind us, we were all glad to feel back at home in Reymontowka.
