Reading Camp at Mission House Day 4

Reading Camp – Day 4, Thursday
It’s a beautiful morning. Should be perfect for outdoor activities, including some learning centers and our second visit to the London Ferrell Garden this afternoon.
Food is an important part of Reading Camp. The chefs (Phyllis and Pat) prepare and serve breakfast, lunch, and 2 snacks daily. Breakfast is different each day: oatmeal or sweet rolls or bagels, fruit (kid-sized apples or red and green grapes or bananas), and always juice and milk. For lunch, the students order from a menu of sandwiches (ham, turkey, or peanut butter), and they also get a vegetable (carrot or celery sticks) and some kind of salty cracker (Goldfish, pretzels, etc.; today, it’s homemade trail mix). The snacks range from Goldfish to Gogurt to Mexican candy (Duvalín) and healthier fare, such as bananas, grapes, etc., including homemade Swedish bread (baked by Melissa), and, always, lemonade.
