Maya's Last day of school

Got great grades, evaluations and a letter from her teacher that made me all farklempt. She said she keeps Maya's eulogy to a wolf on her refrigerator (Molly the teacher read them a book last year about a girl living amongst wolves - Julie of the Wolves. When one of the flawed characters was killed - Maya organized a memorial with her friends and wrote a eulogy that I gave Molly)

Curriculum day at Maya's school

It was a chance for us to hear the kids read their stories, poems, see the things they built and eat good stuff

Maya's band recital was today

After they played, they had to return their instruments - bye bye Clari!

Happy Graduation Day!

Congratulations, Ava on your graduation!

They make buttons of photos at the Arts and science fair at Maya's school. Polaroid photos are pretty good. This one was discarded because Maya closed her eyes

She is finally home!

After a whole week away at the farm (a school thing), she returned yesterday. It was the longest time we've been apart - and the cruel element added to it - no communication whatsoever.(beats me why)
Anyway, there are almost a hundred photos in the photoblog - first 20 taken by me, the rest by Maya.They are here here, and here some of them:

Earth day play, writing celebration

The kids in Maya's class had a little play at the community meeting for Earth Day. After that we got to hear them read their "How TO" books - Maya's was on apple shells - and we made some for everyone. The rest of the photos are here
