Today was a very busy day at camp!
As usual, the kids started out by coloring farm-themed pictures. Not only did they work on their writing and reading skills, but also started up some interesting conversations with their camp-mates. Next, we ventured from flora to fauna and learned the spanish words for some common farm fruits (frutas) and veggies (vegetales). Everyone was very excited when a basket full of “real” foods was pulled out, the now-broken plastic ear of corn (maíz) getting the brunt of this delight. These words were practiced through matching games and the hands-down favorite game of the week, musical chairs. The campers also started practicing the dialogue that they will perform for the parents on Friday. Finally, The kiddos made rainmakers out of paper towel rolls and pasta. We discovered that this group is enamored with glitter!
