Breakfast consisted of french toast, turkey ham, and cantaloupe.
There was another small hike today.
-The students saw the school's chickens. There are 8 different types, they have two of each type.
-They studied a skull collection of different types of animals. They had to identify the animal by the skull's features.
-They had to identify different animal prints.
-They had a night hike. They studied the constellations.
-There was a part in the night hike where the kids had to hike 100 yards across the meadow to the Naturalist that was waiting for them at the end of the field. They could not use a flashlight, they had to use the moon light and their night vision.
-They experienced "Life Saver in the Dark". They each put a peppermint life saver in their mouth, and when they bit down and chewed it up, it sparked and flashed in their mouth. They were all in "oooh, aaah" about it as Mrs. Yee described it.
-Their homework tonight is animal and plant adaptation.
It was windy today but they were all bundled up.
A bagged lunch consisted of a turkey wrap, cheese sticks, oranges, and cookies. This of course, was sent with the kids on their hike.
The kids are having such an incredible time learning (learning through exploration and investigation and play). Our kids mentioned to the teachers that some of their friends, who are more shy than others, have been openly smiling and talking more. They noticed their friends (Jesaan, Sean and Shaun, just to name a few) seem very happy.
Yesterday was Sophia Villanueva's birthday; all of the kids sang a very heartfelt happy birthday to her.
Last night, Mrs. Yee and Mrs. Andrews snuck out of their bed and tip toed around the girl's rooms. They drew mustaches, unibrows, and a third eye on the girls' faces. Jordan woke up with a third eye :). The teachers got in trouble with the Naturalists - for being out of bed after "lights out". ;)
Tonight's dinner was a "Mexican Dinner". They had beef burritos, rice, beans, and churros.
The bus, to bring the students back home, should be at the camp by 11 a.m. on Friday. They should be back at Delevan by 2:00 p.m..
This is a "friendly" reminder to parents that we are still working on raising the registration fees for the children. Even though they are at Science School, the bill will be due. There are plenty more carwash tickets and the Shakey's Night is on the 17th!
Have a good evening.
What an awesome expierience they are all fortunate to have been able to attend science camp . Thanks Delevan Dr. and teachers for being willing to go with our children and teach as well as have funwith them . I know it will be an expierience that they will never forget.
