Gramma Camp Week 29

Cinnamon found a Notable Sawyer. Josee was a bit creeped out. I scooped it up in the bug collector. Of course, it was better than a bat.

Breakfast time chat

There was some self-deprecating humour from Izzy. We were talking about handwriting. She learned cursive in gr. 4, you see, but they don't use it much online during virtual schooling. She said something about Josee's writing being better than hers, but that is a low bar. Then the puns flew.

Grampa was in the Catholic school board until gr. 4. They were to do cursive writing in Gr. 5, then he transferred to the Catholic school board. He had to teach himself using the bulletin board letters.

I told the girls that my gr. 11 teacher told me I wrote like a drunken spider. He was a known tippler, too. From there we asked about whiteboards. "Whiteboards are remarkable," apparently. Good pun by Izzy.

They said a lot of their classrooms had them, although some have smartboards (which project the teacher's laptop screen). I told them that a teacher in my school had piloted an early version. They flew him out west for training, as it was quite new technology. Now, every newscaster use them.

Josephine accidentally made herself a puzzle! We haven't gotten her any more, since school keeps them fairly busy.

isabelle made herself lunch. It never varies, when it comes to sandwiches.

Just as we set out for our afternoon break, the rain began. It looks lush and green.

Cinnamon watched the geese and ducks. Cinnamon geese ducks 

 

Rural raccoons are different than city ones! I loved watching him stand in the water to drink. Butch raccoon 

 

The crows must still be nesting. Crows May 8 both visited the cracked corn.

 

This videocam result is a hoot. The deer dancing in the frogpond! We all laughed and laughed!

I tucked Josephine into bed, and Cinnamon was on her feet, while she read before bedtime. It was so sweet.
