Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

We are just starting with narration and nature study. Combined the two today-here is the narration and hopefully the nature notebook drawing will be with it! (Thank you, Elizabeth!) This is from Anne-Catherine, who is five, and has to be encouraged to speak in complete sentences.

"Today I caught a crab but it got away. Ranger Melissa showed me some fish. I saw pokey fish, they were silver and very pretty. I saw a boy crab and a girl crab. Girl crabs have a pyramid on their tummies, that's how I know a boy from a girl. I got to hold a bucket of little shrimp and showed them to everybody. I went into tall, poky, sharp grass to go into the marsh bayou. Allyson sat down in the bayou and got all wet and muddy."



I'm a pretty proud mom! And now, if we are ever wondering the sex of the blue crab, she will be able to figure it out. FYI, the male has a phallic shaped tail tucked up into his tummy, but thankfully the word phallic wasn't used today.

Anne-Catherine is certainly well spoken, and she will never forget what she learned!

Thank you so much for sharing the excellent nature narration.
