If at first you fail, try and try again!

This past Friday the Primary class inadvertently learned an important life lesson: To always keep trying and never say you "can't."

We had a fun-filled day of lemonade making, toy airplane building and treehouse cabin construction... take a look!

L to R, T to B: Aidan building a plane, Alyssa squeezing a lime, Miss Melissa, Micaela, Aidan & Josie proud of their work, Miss Francina teaching how to throw the plane, Aidan, Miss Francina building plane while friends watch, Alyssa pouring freshly squeezed lemon juice, Gabriel, Aidan & Michael putting treehouse logs away, Miss Francina pouring lemonade for an excited Michael while classmates await, Ellie throwing the plane.

It only took accidentally breaking one plane while building it, and having another not fly until the third time was smooth soaring. The Lincoln Log treehouse? Only took just under an hour... I always remembered those being easy... maybe my brother did more of the work than I did!? After several head shakes, frustrated sighs and reconstructions we were really proud of our work and everybody was excited to see the finished product. Finally, our first lemonade (technically lemon/limeade) making of the year -- something we will be doing every Friday; first it was too sour, then a little bit too sweet.. last batch of the day: just perfect :)

Through all of this fun, we still found time to get work done, of course ;)

L to R, T to B: Brandon practicing his buttoning, Gabriel focused on weaving, Martha showing off her Red and Blue Rod work with numerals.

We can't believe a month is almost up! Look out for more posts this week; we've got exciting things planned.

Until then... always remember: to never give up :)
