Today at Neighbor's House we read some more of "Because of Winn Dixie" and then wrote downt the five senses on our sweet/sorrowful moments. Then we talked about the party on Friday and made ourselves invitations. Then on the invites we put what we will bring.

Veronica

We had two bloggers today! Veronica was our first.

Today for breakfast we had an english muffin with jelly, a banana, and milk. We read one chapter of Because of Winn Dixie. I love reading and I am a fast reader. After that we read the chapter, we started talking about the Winn-Dixie party. Everybody is going to bring something. Also, we all made invitations and switched. Then we wrote in them saying what we were going to bring. Then we wrote stories about sweet and sorrowful things that happen in our lives.

Angele wrote about the Neigbor's House field trip to Feed My Starving Children on Monday.

We went to Feed My Starving Children. It was my first time going there. It was fun. We helped kids and their families. I was glad to go and help people. All of us laughed and had lots of fun.

Neighbor's House is fun when you do math because Rebecca and Jordan do games that are involved with math. The boring part but kind of fun is that you have work sheets but you can get help. When I first came I thought it was going to be boring like school but it isn't. Every night I can't wait to wake up and go. All of the other kids are nice and fun to play with. Kyle is nice and cool. Like I said, I love Neighbor's House it is so much fun!

Cory

Cory was out blogger on Thursday!

Today we started out by cleaning up the room. Everybody wiped down their tables and then I vacuumed the floor. The vacuum cleaner was so small! Afterward, we played a game that Jordan, our math teacher, showed us. What we did was lay a bunch of cards with pictures on them across the floor. And what people did was pick pictures that help explain their lives. After the game we did the Problem of the Day. Today's problem was on probability. For math class today they split us up into 3 groups and played some math games. While they were playing games some separate students worked with some volunteers outside on math packets that they got from school to do over the summer. Then everybody packed up their stuff and they went home.

Keyshon was our blogger yesterday, here's what he had to say.

One thing I like about Neighbor's House is that they teach me everything I need to learn. People never give up on anybody.

Mila

Monday, June 27th started our Summer Refresher blog. Each day one of the students will blog about their day. Let's see what Mila had to say today.

Today we learned about fractions. We worked on a worksheet that asked us to solve the word problem. The best part of the day at Neighbor's House today was playing empires because I got to learn more about people and communicate. Our math teacher today was Jordan/Kathy(the nickname Mila came up with for Jordan today). I think she did a great job teaching us. She is so much fun which made me laugh. Ruth helped me on my worksheet and she made me think, but over all I had a pretty good morning at Neighbor's House today.

Love- Young Mi Mi (this is the nickname Jordan gave her today)
