Staff Appreciation Night


So last night at Dairy Queen, I told the kids that I had gotten an email about Staff Apppreciate Day at Green Acres. They asked us to consider writing a short note to the kids' councillors about how they make their day special.
I had my Blackberry and Colin had asked if, after we finished our ice cream, we could stay for a while and talk. I said we could, so I took the time to type in what the kids wanted to say about their councilors. Ayla typed in her own in the car on the way home, it took her the whole ride home. Here is what they said:
Colin choices
- Laura at Cedar Creek: Because she is the helper and she helps me get on and off the horses
- Katherine (young): Because sometimes she gives us snickle snackle
- Katherine (old): Because she guides us to the craft barn in the morning
- Laura At Green Arces: Because she lets us play
- J-bob: Because he plays with me. He plays soldier with me
- Janell: She lets us play
- Jessica: because she is our instructor and I like her because she tells us what to do and all that

Ayla's Choices
Laura. GA (Green Acres)
She takes care of us every morning and every afternoon.
Janell
She takes care of us every morning and every afternoon.
Jbob
He takes care of us every morning and every afternoon.
Cathrine (instructor)

Cathrine (manager of cedar creek)

Inez

Chantal
She's always there when I need her. she'll always be my shoulder to sleep and cry on.
Barbra
Every day she takes the time to teach us every thing we need to now about horses and how to take care of them.
Diana
Every day she takes all her patience to teach us the next art activity.

So...what exactly is snickle snackel?
I love how Colin's was all about playing.

And I guess Ayla's favorite is Chantale...and how much patience do you think is needed for the art teacher :) It sounds as if she is exasperated with the kids :)

And why is Ayla sleeping and crying at camp????

Love you & miss you guys

I was wondering the same, why Chantal was "the shoulder to dry on and sleep on". Sleeping I get, but I have been hesitant asking her about the crying at camp. Although it is killing me to ask. Should I ask?
