Last Day of Camp

Our last day was a fantastic mix of emotions! This last week of camp was a blast for the Frogs. We covered some out-of-this-world topics - the planets, stars, astronauts, and the moon. Today, we read the book Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown and talked about the rockets that blast off to our moon. 

Our book of the day. 

After we read our book, we completed a Story Chart. As a class we reviewed details of the story, such as the title, author, illustrator, setting, and other important details. After we completed one as a group, the Frogs went on the complete their own story chart.

Soon after that it was time for bathroom and snacks. 

After snack it was time to go outside! The Frogs really spread out today and played on different equipment and with new friends.

Today, Aarav discovered that there was clay under the sand!

After recess was over, we came back inside for art. Art was super messy today as we made our moons! By mixing flour with white paint, the Frogs created a chalky texture that they spread with their fingers on black paper. We used water bottles to make craters in the moon and decorated the space with stars and other cool galaxy things. All the Frogs got super creative today! 

Austin used his spoon to spread his texture because he wanted to keep his hands clean.

After art it was time for science. We did something so awesome today that we had to go outside! First, the Frogs had to predict what would create a "rocket." Putting mentos in coke or putting beans in sprite. 

The predictions before the experiment!

We took an adventure outside to find out. The beans and sprite made a tiny rocket but it was nothing compared to our coke and mentos! It shot up in the sky so far that we were all shocked. It even got all over Miss. Lenna!

We were surprised that the beans had a reaction with Sprite!

After coming back inside from our cool experiment. It was time for center time play. The Frogs were all over the place today! Running around and having a lot of fun on the last day with their friends was awesome to watch.

After centers it was time for lunch. The Frogs got super silly at lunch today!

Soon after, it was time to wrap up our day with music. Today we sang some of our favorite songs, I Like Money, Tootie Ta, the Hand Dance, and Ride That Pony! We also played a fun round of Hot Potato and Musical Chairs! 

The class got competitive during musical chairs!

Some hugs were exchanged between the frogs today for good-byes.

As we were singing our good-bye song, parents arrived one by one to pick up their Frogs. Saying good-bye was hard, but no one left without a hug or a high-five! We loved having your children with us at camp this summer. Thank you for letting us spend such quality time with them. They have truly brightened our lives and we hope we have affected theirs. 

Have a great rest of your Summer!
