Monday we decided what new jobs everyone will do for the week and everyone eagerly went off to work.  One of the things we do every day is snack time both in the morning and afternoon and this provides a great excersize in patience and organization.  It also allows us to meet and interact with many counselors and staff members each day.

On Tuesday we had another ordinary day but were excited for Wednesday when we joined Eidah Gimmel on their trip to the Bronx Zoo.  We also took turns going into the tie dye room where everyone had a chance to tie dye their own camp shirt.

On Wednesday we hopped onto the school busses with excitement as we set out for a day at the zoo.  Even thought it was a hot day the zoo was very shady and we had a blast.  We saw so many animals and loved how Shani and Anette shares so much of their amazing knowledge of animals with us.  We learned great and interesting facts and took some great photos!  I am quite sure we all slept well that night 🙂

Thursday was a very busy day.  We had a visit from Gayle Abrams who runs the summer program department in the main Yachad office.  She loved watching our group in action especially during our circle time when we had an excellent discussion about responsibility and how divide responsibility equally.  We presented some issues and the group problem solved beautifully!

We also had a visit from Eve and Leora who hung out with us for a while so it was just a fun filled day!
