In art today, the Neutrons and Electrons crafted creatures out of their written names. They folded a paper in half lengthwise, then wrote their names on it. Some kids chose cursive writing, some bubble letters, and some printed letters. Then
Math/Science: Snow Volcanoes

STEM: Probability Games
It was game day and we did a short discussion on probability (jumping off from the word “probably”) and the options were: the MUCH. LOVED. Tenzi Blink (card game) Logic Dots (match written instructions to a visual creation of colored

Nature Study: River Walk
Today, we walked down to the river. We discussed a variety of things, like how erosion caused the riverside to be steep on one side and how the river can sometimes get so high it floods the nearby road. We
Science: Squishy Circuits
Today we were a little ambitious and took on squishy circuits *and* making play dough in one 45 minute period. It was chaos, but we did it! The kids were scientists troubleshooting their circuits, and the adult helpers were superheroes
Gym: Holiday Bingo
Today we opted for a fun Holiday theme session. We started with Holiday Bingo looking for items that could be found indoors and outdoors. We had fun searching and settled at the shelter to play pin the nose on the
