First Days for Fours and Fives

Our biggest kids started school this week, and we've had such a lovely first few days! We've read lots of classic children's books, and we did projects on two of them. The children received refresher lessons and rediscovered their favorite activities. We were even able to dance with our rhythm sticks every day this week!

Shhhhhhhhh!!!

Our Marlowe campers spent this week preparing themselves for future undercover missions by enrolling in our Super Secret Spy Program (SSSP). 
The children spent time at the Marlowe Foreign Language Institute.
They also underwent cryptologic education that included learning super secret hand signals and how to write and decipher cursive code.
Their studies included geography, cartography, and vexillology.
 
Physical training included exercises from President Kennedy's Physical Fitness Program ("Chicken Fat") and laser beam limbo.
Our campers both created and uncovered secret messages,
passed along secret information,
and searched the classroom for items to include in their spy packs.
I hope you all have a wonderful few weeks relaxing before school starts, and I look forward to seeing you all soon!

A Bug's Life and Super Safari

We've had a great time these past two weeks studying both insects and wild animals. The children have learned many interesting facts, and we've had the opportunity to make some adorable art and cooking projects as well as conduct some science experiments. I've had so much fun with the campers this year, and I can't believe we have just one week left before our final summer break! I have lots of fun planned for next week's Spy Camp!!
