Summer camp 2023 continued as we zoomed into transportation – and how people move around by land, air and water. Air transportation highlighted airplanes and rocket ship projects; water transportation included submarines and boats which floated in various experiments and projects throughout the classrooms, while land transportation touched on buses, cars and trucks. Painting with car tires made some unique art masterpieces!
Two additional favorite projects our students enjoyed were making their own mini cars using paper towel rolls and cardboard box cars which they could climb into for hours of make believe fun! Beep! Beep! Summer started out a little "fishy" with a study of ocean life! Our students learned about types of fish, both large and small, names of the different fins found on a fish’s body along with fish habitat. The topic broadened into various ocean life including whales, sharks and jellyfish to name a few. After painting a water mural, the kiddos added numerous ocean related art projects.
Additionally, we sailed the high seas with a week full of imagination highlighting pirates and mermaids. After making a pretend pirate ship and pirate hats, everyone had hours of fun "sailing." Ahoy matey! |
