Macy, our classroom dog in Primary since we opened in 2018, died this morning. She loved the children and the children loved her. She will be deeply missed. 💔

The wonderful world of herbs!
On Thursday we learned all about different herbs. We used smelling bottles to smell herbs, matched picture cards to labels and definitions, played an herb board game, and tried out different herbs on our own personal pizzas!

Wednesday was trees and rocks day. We looked at different types of leaves and put them (along with our dried flowers from Tuesday) into bookmarks. We also painted rocks, ate broccoli “trees,” and took a nature walk to search find out what kinds of trees are in our neighborhood.

Day two of Nature Camp was about flowers! We learned about many different kinds of flowers, took a neighborhood walk, did some leaf pounding and flower drying, and had fruit flowers for snack! Can’t wait for more fun today!
There’s still time to register for another fun camp next week when we’ll be taking a musical road-trip through the USA. Learn about America’s songs and dances!

Yesterday it was all about birds and nests for our summer campers. They scavenged for materials to make bird nests, made bird feeders, and even ate bird’s nests for snack! Bird’s nest cookies, that is. 🪺

Mr. Tom is starting his AMI elementary course today! Wishing him all the best and praying for him to have as wonderful an experience with his course as Miss Noëlle and Miss Lucy did with their AMI primary course.
Tom wrote about starting this course and why he’s doing it in a post on the Hilltop Children`s House website. It’s worth taking the time to read. (Link to website is in our bio)
