The first organization that will be receiving a donation from our Dragonsfly crew's garage sale funds is the South Carolina Aquarium Sea Turtle Care Center. Our friends Luke and Theo returned from a trip to Florida sharing with us a tale of a dead sea turtle that they saw. The children were very intrigued. We researched and learned about sea turtles and that they sometimes get harmed by humans making not smart choices like leaving fishing nets in the ocean. Please watch the video of this organizations efforts. We drew pictures of sea turtles to send along to the aquarium as well.

Our study of money now includes multiple cash registers and assorted stores in our environment. There are lots of goods being exchanged! We also read a book about how coins are made and distributed. A trip to the park today! This lady made it to the top of the loft today and was so proud!
Our garage sale is over and now it's time to see how much we have made. (Thanks everyone for contributing!) We totaled $333.75! Wowza. Now to finalize who we would like to donate to. A little outdoor inspiration during art today. "Can I have one?"
All have gone home and as I reflect, today is up there as one of my most special teaching days ever! We have never felt so loved and supported in our lives. The sign in my yard when I came out this morning, cards, chocolate, wine, gift certificates and the most amazing video ever! You all are the best. The only way you can care for children for your whole career and not get burned out is by being with families who appreciate you and let you know it. We survived a year that many other providers didn't because of you. We can't thank you enough. Thanks for today. Truly. Now excuse me while I go drink wine and eat chocolate. (;

Shannon Davis- Family Child Care provider"Family child care is not babysitting. It's not comparable to any child care center. It's families, in relationships with a professional care provider in an environment that becomes, by design, a second home and a whole bunch of people partnering, trusting, caring and educating each other."
