Our youngest campers had been exploring light, darkness, reflections and shadows. The children helped make a "dark cave". We enjoyed playing with the cave this week. We brought in stuffed animals and played with our cuddly friends in the cave. We learned how to make figures with our hands and made our very own shadow puppets!
Our morning campers visited the nearby Shipetaukin Creek. They waded in the water and used a big net to catch minnows and crayfish. We noticed the water was muddy and there were a lot of sticks and logs under the water. We had a lot of fun catching minnows and exploring our local stream. In the afternoon Level up class, we partnered with students from Brazil. We studied water filtration systems and researched ways to filter water around the world. We enjoyed the experiments and learned about water surface, water cycle, and pollution.
Our curious campers in Grades K-5 have been immersing themselves in children's literature and exploring different techniques in bookmaking. They have been learning about stitched binding, accordion books, flag books, and zines. They also examined book forms from around the world! During reflection, our curious campers shared their favorite work from yesterday and explained what they liked best about it. Some liked the combination and shape of colors and shared their process. One student liked the "pizazz" of her colors and their placement. Another liked that it looked like a supernova!
