Fish and Ants

"I don't like my fruit cuz it tastes like coke."
Ms. Emily-well eat the other food and then we'll try your coke fruit
Ms. Emily-Lets be fish, show me your fishy face!
"I wanta be a dead fish."
Ms. Emily-No you dont want to be a dead fish!
"I saw a purple ant!" "I saw a blue ant!"
Ms Emily-You've seen ants I have never seen and thats ok.
Alright everyone make a pizza slice with your feet and sticky glue your hands to your hips! like Ms. Julianna taught us





This last week of camp the kids did a ballet piece and a tap piece. They also had pj day on Friday. I've never done tap before this summer but put together a little number to "Allstar" and it was very cute! Also, tap is a great dance style that with a few basics, i think a lot of people could learn. It's all about rhythm and some people are very good and quick! The kids also had a talent show and some of the girls had a little mermaid routine-hence the fishy faces!

Yesterday I assisted in African dance which mostly involved me doing a whole lot of watching because when I attempted it, it was probably rather humorous. I told one of the girls I had never done this until today and said she could probably tell. She said ya but you weren't too bad, you just have to practice. I'm pretty sure she was just being nice :).
I often say dance can be humbling and today it was! You just have to smile and laugh. Let's just say I have a very big appreciation for those who study and perform the art of African Dance. They are very talented, gifted, and free spirits and its so amazing to watch! They have a rhythm and freedom in their dance that is beautiful to watch!





Well little ones, thanks for the memories!
