3-5th grade summer Week 2! Our theme for the week is “Camping”. They played “Save Fred” with Mrs. Morris focusing on cognitive skills and fine motor skills. Students also identified trees by their leaves, learned about symmetry in nature, and completed leaf rubbing art with Mrs Ruccia. To end our day we played a fun listening/following directions based game called “Boom, clap, snatch”. This was our favorite leaf of the day. Do you know what tree it belongs to? Ask your student if you are stumped. They can tell you some of the cool facts we learned!
A huge thank you to Doug Seagraves for sharing his knowledge and love of disc golf with us at Karel Park this morning! We had a great time learning something new!
On Monday, June 20, 2022 we will not have summer school in observance of the federal holiday, Juneteenth. We will resume on Tuesday, June 21.
K-2 campers had a great day finishing our Reading week. We made lanterns to go camping, went fishing for sight words, and read some great camping stories and compared them to our own camping stories. Hope you come and join the fun with us next week during Math and crafts.
Shout out to Mr Vinyard for putting us through a HIIT workout today @ Shawnee Fitness! We will definitely feel it tomorrow 💪! Progress never felt so good!!!
3-5th grade celebrated their Week 1 “Summer Adventure” by making ice cream in a bag! This STEM activity incorporated chemistry, mixtures, measurement and time. We also had some great discussions on “why it’s hard to be a kid” and about inclusion. Take a second today to ask what they enjoyed most this week. See you all on Monday for our “camping” themed week 2!
K-2 campers are finishing up their first week of camping. We have had so much fun with Reading this week. Reading camping stories, flashlight reading, games, and activities. We have also made campfires, lighting bug catchers, bird feeders, and lanterns. Can't wait for next week, Math and crafts 😃😍. Come and join the fun 😊

Today, Mrs. Morris and Mrs. Ruccia’s 3-5th grade summer school attendees learned calm breathing/stretching and how to start the day with a clear mind, designed their own summer camp, made seed bombs for the bees, and engineered a catapult to launch the seeds. The seed bombs were drying, so we had fun launching mini-marshmallows instead.
