Northern Kentucky Reading Camp Day 1
July 14, 2008
This afternoon Steve from “My Nose Turns Red” (a place where you can learn to be a clown) came to hang out with us at the Northern Kentucky Reading Camp. After every trick he performed, Steve insisted upon throwing your hands up in the air and letting out a resounding, “TAH-DAH!” After a while balancing on the big red ball, Breanne lost her balance and jumped off onto the mat. She giggled and walked away. Steve made her come back and show off her “TAH-DAH.” Basically, even if you didn’t plan it, act like you did then throw your hands up and brag… “Tah-dah!”
Our first day:
*The bus with our kids got there before most of the volunteers and teachers did.
*Three kids didn’t show up, only one accounted for by sickness
*We started fifteen minutes late
*One of our nurses for the day woke up with the flu.
*Two kids didn’t have bathing suits and
*Half of the kids don’t like grape jelly.
BUUUUUTTTT….
*We found bathing suits for the two kids
*All our volunteers had something to do when they arrived
*We got our pictures sent out on time to get printed by the end of the day
*We finished on time.
*Cheyenne (the quietest girl in Northern Kentucky) talked to the other kids at the pool
*We didn’t lose anyone at the pool (a major plus) and
*We have a group of really kind kids who are eager to learn and excited for this opportunity.
TAH-DAH!
