Today was the first day of our summer camp and everyone had a great time! We are focusing on nature this week and today's theme was nature awareness. We started out by listening to the sounds all around us.
We heard woodpeckers, squirrels, crickets, the wind.....
Then we did a nature memory game. Ms. Claire laid out objects that could be easily found in the garden....
Then she covered them with a bandana and the children had to remember what the objects were and find them outside. Some of the younger ones just found a pine cone or sweet gum ball. The older ones were able to remember all the items.
The objects were: pine cone, wood chip, rock, pine needle and sweet gum ball.
Everyone was amazed by how much our peppers, tomatoes, flowers and peas have grown. We are going to have a tomato feast soon!! Then we made T shirts with our logo and spray on fabric paint. The children picked their colors and they all turned out beautiful!
Water play was LOTS of fun!!
And we finished up with a little yoga! Thanks everyone for a great time - we'll see you tomorrow!
