Sprouts w/o 8/12

We had such a busy and exciting week at camp! Your children were such a
delight and we truly enjoyed all of their unique and enthusiastic energy. We
focused on weather as our theme of study this week. We learned about the
continuous water cycle and how water evaporates into the air to form
condensation in the form of clouds and then when the drops get big enough they
come down as precipitation in the form of rain or snow. The children made a
beautiful diorama depicting this cycle. We also discussed and read stories about
wind, hurricanes, the sun, and the seasons. We even made rainstorms with our
hands and bodies!
 
 Your children were so happily engaged in all of the classroom works and
activities this week as well.  They happily used our kitchen and beloved ice
cream and popsicle stand to engage in dramatic play with their friends and many
chose to paint, build with a variety of building materials, put together puzzles and
so much more. Our outdoor time at McGolrick was filled with so much creative
and spontaneous interactions with nature. In the new playground, they used the
climbing ropes, slides, swings, and the sprinklers. In the green space, the
children were immersed in the joy of digging and creating mud, climbing the
climbing tree, and using sticks in creative ways. Our favorite outdoor game this
week was “Wrap Up the Candy” where we utilized the parachute to gently give
each child a little spin ride in a circle. Thank you kindly for sending your lovely
children to us this week and we hope to see you at another camp or around the
neighborhood!
