What Did We Learn From Camp?

Grade 4 Camp is a wrap! We learned so much about leadership, communication, and collaboration. To see all the action, go to Google Photos. Listen to this reflections to find out what our important takeaways were.

Show Don't Tell About Our Vacations

What: Finding out my baby had gotten her second tooth

Setting: Airplane seat, by the window, sitting next to my husband, at the end of the day (9 pm)

What am I feeling - surprise, shock, amazement, tired from traveling

Looks like:
my body is slumped backwards, Lane is moving moving moving
my eyes were heavy, half open
laser-focus on keeping Lane entertained
wetness covered my knuckle, as Lane sucked my finger like a lollipop, and chewed on my finger like it was her favorite food
eyebrows raised
mouth dropped
trying to hold her still to see her mouth

Sounds like:
scraping on my knuckles, like a rake scratching the sidewalk
"What on earth?"
shouting to my husband in surprise, even though the other passengers were sleeping (oops!)

Thinking:
"Ow!"
"This wasn't here this morning!"
"This can't be!"
"Did she grow her tooth on this flight?"
"But she wasn't showing any signs of another tooth coming in!"
