Our matpresentation for frukost was presented by ABBA. The ledare made up a skit about how ABBA got started. Their inspiration came from eating our frukost foods today--musli, yoghurt, och frukt. Mums!
|
 |
Meet Björn and Agneta and their soon-to-be manager. |
 |
Here is the other A and B of ABBA--Annifrid and Benny! |
|
Our daily expression today was "Håll tummarna," which literally means "Hold your thumbs!" The translation is the same as our English "cross your fingers" or "good luck!" |
 |
Welcome, Sigge! |
 |
For Vår Värld each day we do an environmental activitiy. Here is Alf's group learning about various animals. |
 |
|
 |
For Gott och Blandat today, we divided into two groups. Each group made 11 questions for the other group. We hung them on trees to make a trail of questions. The groups took a walk in the woods and tried to answer each question. This is called a Tipspromenad. |
 |
Do you know the answer to question 6? What is the name of Sweden's queen? |
 |
The answer is Silvia, spelled with an "i," not a "y." |
 |
|
 |
On our tipspromenad, we went around to the new boathouse and had a look at the beautiful new flagpole! Tack to the Mullenbach family!
|
 |
Here is the entrance to the sailing beach. |
 |
We're almost to the last question . . . |
|
We did it! We're off to language class (språkgrupp). |
|
We visited each of the credit classrooms today to take a pictures of each group. Here is Emy's grupp!
|

Greta's group of studenter has fem fina flickor!
|
 |
Styr-Björn and his group |

Mikaela's group gives her a thumbs up!
All five credit classes are taught by Swedes! |
 |
Emilia's class learned about word order today. They got little slips of words which needed to be put in the right order on the clothes line. What a cool idea! |
 |
Svenne was very helpful! |
 |
|
|
Here's how Liv's group worked on the slips. |
|

|
During kort and långfritid (free times), you can always see villagers playing four-square. |
 |
Let's check out some of the INTRESSE activities that take place in mid-afternoon.
This is dalmålning, a Swedish folk art which requires meticulous attention to detail. Those doing dalmålning have practiced for a few days and are now ready to try their skills on the item they have chosen. |

Hej, Kajsa och Elin. Kajsa is our assistant Dean, and Elin is our Credit Facilitator. |
 |
Here's our Sjölunden family tree! |
|
In Emy's group, they filled a tree with all the new words they learned the first week of class. |
|
One of the favorite places to gather is Fikastället. "Att fika" means to have a snack. |
|
Tonight is Restaurant Night. All the villagers had to call in their reservations (på svenska förstås) ahead of time. |
 |
After aftonsamling, there was time to change to nice clothes for the restaurant. |
 |
This session we had a Greek restaurant was called Stjärnorna Över Aten. (Stars Over Athens) Magda was our host.
|
|
We had a special place to order drinks. It was called Min Stortjock Grekisk Bar.
|
 |
Here's what you could order at the bar.
|
 |
Some of our guests relax before their reservations.

A look behind the scenes at our Greek restaurang! Don't those cooks look a bit like ledare at Sjölunden? |
|
. . . and doesn't she look just a little bit like our nurse Syster Elisabet and her dotter Amanda? |
|
Time for Allsång while the restaurang closes and the stage for the Talanguppvisning (talent show) is set up! |

We had so much fun doing our line dances we learned for I-Day just a week ago. |

The commentators got the crowd excited to see Leif wrestle. What anticipation! Whom would Leif be wrestling? |
|
Oh, nej! It's Mattias the björn! This was to be a björn wrestling match! |
|
Mattias was tough, but Leif segrade!
