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!
