CAMP DISCOVERY The Adventurers explored “Camp Grossology” week by learning how many of our “gross” bodily functions keep us healthy. In preparation for the Grossology Fair, Adventurers made snot, plasma and Oobleck. The Explorers discovered how important saliva is when eating, and in preparation for the Grossology Fair, they made edible kitty litter and poop. The Trailblazers explored how the brain works, and for the Grossology Fair, they made edible worms and fingers. Camp Discovery also had a great day of exploration at The Fernbank Museum on Tuesday! We explored how the brain functions and took a trip back in time by visiting the dinosaur exhibit. During Thursday’s visit from High Touch-High Tech, campers had a hands-on experience with animal organs, and creepy and crawly creatures! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ SUMMER BRIDGE During the first days of Summer Bridge, third graders wrote and shared biographies, getting to know each other a little deeper. They also wrote detailed paragraphs based on words that expressed their feelings. The children enjoyed the activity and said it was, "EPIC!" In the slideshow, you’ll find Dawn giving the rising 2nd graders their first taste of our new math program, Singapore Math. Dakota said "I love this new math. It's so fun and colorful." Eric said, "This is so much better than our old math. I'm excited to do this in 2nd grade." First graders began writing and illustrating “Small Moment” books, in which they wrote about an event in their lives. They are working to add details to make their writing more interesting. Kindergarteners found it exciting to create a pattern museum. While visiting their friends' pattern exhibits, the curious and creative kindergartners discovered it was fun to count the number of items in their pattern and to identify their patterns by color, shape and letter.
