Summer Camp Kick-Off - Week 1 at Sacajawea

It's day 1 of Summer Camp at Sacajawea.  What great opportunities we have for enrichment.  Here are some of the highlights so far.

STEM Camp:

They are building things.  Saws, glue guns, cardboard, and pretty much anything else they can find.  Makers and inventors. And also just a little bit of creative goofyness. All in all, a beautiful mess.

No one was hurt.  Just creative sillyness.

Summer Olympics Theme Camp

Today they are learning about the olympics.  Lots of inquiry and new vocabulary including Samurai and Sushi.  Woot Woot for those project GLAD strategies in action, Mrs. Hallenbeck.

Cooking Camp

Thanks to the City of Caldwell for allowing us to use the kitchen facility at Roberts Rec Center.  Our little group of Jr. Chefs have baked potatoes on the menu today.  A fantastic Spud State start.

Wet and Wild Camp

These junior scientists are exploring the natural world.  They are using microscopes to discover tiny things in their world.   A couple quotes of the day, after looking at the invisible world around them and under their feet:  "My whole life has been a lie!" and "This was totally worth it to sign up for this!" Coming up this week are investigations of lakes and streams near us.
