At the end of the week campers earned an award and were applauded for their strengths within the classroom! 

Everyday campers wrote a journal entry and created a book of all their writings!

 Finishing up "The Giving Tree" writing assignment. These boys wrote about their gifts to the world and how their gifts make others happy.

Their gifts to the world are giving high-fives and laughter :)!

Math book! Making addition and subtraction fun!

Camp Journals!

 

Week 1 was so much fun! These campers did an amazing job with their writing, spelling, and math skills. 

And the fun starts!

Camp was a blast today :)!

Today at camp, campers listened to the story of The Giving Tree, by Shel Silverstein. After listening to the story, we asked, “What are some of the gifts that the tree provides in the story? (answers include shade, apples, branches to swing on, etc.). Followed by asking, “how does the tree feel when she sees the boy enjoying his gifts? (Happy) Moral of the story is the gift of giving and loving. Teaching that sometimes giving gifts can often feel more rewarding then receiving gifts. These bright youngsters then created their own giving tree. Displaying what they give to others and how it makes them feel. 

Every child has gifts or talents to offer to others that don’t cost any money. For Example, some people might be able to play the piano, draw, or read out loud. Tomorrow campers will write about their gifts or talents that they bring to the world! 

 Each student wrote a journal about a healthy snack. It is important for teachers to incorporate health education! Eating healthy is extremely important! Sofia wrote about how she loves tomatoes! Many kids wrote about eating apples!   We need to make sure we are giving youngsters healthy choices to eat as it affects their learning behaviors, attention span, and health.

This is day 1 of camp! We are so excited for the next few weeks :)!
Still room to sign up, week 4 is almost full!
