To wrap up our K-2 Summer School Camp, we were scientists! We explored nature on our playground, collected items, and used them to create our very own sun catchers! We also selected a rock from our indoor water stream and had an amazing time painting them. A great keepsake to remind us of what an awesome and special time we had these past weeks. We also created marshmallow catapults to see how far they would launch. We have some truly great engineers! Then, we chose an item around our campsite to test whether it would sink or float. What surprising outcomes we discovered! We finished with some amazing crescent roll s'mores and yummy ice cream cones 😃 Thanks to each of the students for participating in our Summer School Camp. You are all AMAZING! Thank you to the families for sharing your kids with us for a great end of the year camp!

Today, to wrap up our “detective/mystery” week, the 3-5th graders used their senses to identify “mystery” food items, and solved a “mystery theatre” type crime by listening to clues read aloud by the students themselves acting a part. Although our time has come to end, we hope the excitement and interest in Science, Tech, Reading, Engineering, Art and Math (STREAM) continues throughout the summer! There are a lot of easy prep resources available online to continue the learning at home. ALSO, Bookit has extended their program for reading through the summer to earn free Pizza Hut, the details are available at their website in the comments below. Thank you for sharing your students with us these last 3 weeks!
