A look at our day ~ D.C Design Challenge

Summer is off to a great start! We are already having lots of fun in Discovery Camp Design Challenge II!



We like to start our day off with singing (and some dancing too!)



Ultimate Challenge


Could you put a clothes pin in a plastic cup using only your chin...

Win a competitive game of "Penny Cup Challenge?"



It' harder than it looks



How about carrying a water balloon under your chin? And all this before lunch!




Always fun to compete in a game of nukum at recess time!



A little karaoke after lunch?


UpCycle



This team made a battle field out of "junk drawer" supplies.








No better way to spend our day!

Pre-K Summer Fun

We love summer!

We are having a great time with our friends.  

 The kids have used our "tent" to put on puppet shows and make movies.  

 
We are working on a special project for our "Bird City!" We can't wait to reveal the final product! :)

The center room is always full of great activities.




 Did you know that cucumbers make the best zombie eyes?



So helpful!

 They love to play in the water.  They are pretending to be plants and trees!  

 Here is a quote that I just found...I couldn't agree more! :)


"Listen to a seashell and you will hear the ocean.
Listen to a child and you will hear brilliance!"

Thank you for letting me teach your children!

"What a Wonderful World!"

I see trees of green ...red roses too
I see them bloom ...for me and you.
And I think to myself What a Wonderful World!




I see skies of blue....clouds of white

Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights





And I think to myself What a Wonderful World






The colors of the rainbow...so pretty in the sky

Are also on the faces of people going by

I see friends shaking hands saying"How do you do?"







They're really saying"I LOVE YOU"








I hear babies cry. I watch them grow.








They'll learn much more than I'll ever know.








And I think to myself


What a Wonderful World!











Yes, I think to myself...






















What a Wonderful World!








Oh Yeah!

Ms. Lisa's Class: Works In Progress

"The real magic wand is the child's own mind." ~ Jose Ortega Gasset


Adding finishing touches to our group art project. They love sticking stickers, mostly on themselves or me!












Red + Yellow = ORANGE












We've been busy painting but we're not finished yet. Shhh....it's a surprise!








"Will you play with me?"









Happy faces and new friends.











"The soul is healed by being with children." ~ Dostoevsky

Thank you for trusting me with your precious ones.

Time flies...

...when you're a busy toddler.

We created nests and talked about how birds make their homes in trees or birdhouses.













We practice words by talking, singing and signing.








"I love YOU!"






We learn to focus and use our fine-motor skills. Playing "Where is it?" makes clean-up time lots of fun, too.














We had an Egg Hunt!












The best game is hide-and-seek in the BIG RED TUNNEL!
