Summer Camp Slideshow

Summer Camp is in full swing here at Children's Country Day School. Please spend a minute viewing the slide show of camp pictures from this week. I think the pictures clearly show how busy our days are and how much fun the children are having at camp. We have been reading books by Eric Carle, Leo Lionni, Iza Trapani and Lois Ehlert, who are wonderful children's book authors. If you are not familiar with their books, I highly recommend any books by these authors. We have made spiders, tea pots and starry night skies this week in art but I think the children most enjoy our water play here at camp. Some children are really enjoying the sprinkler while others prefer playing in the pools. For a few days last week, it was so hot that even the teachers were tempted to get wet!
It feels so good to learn something new. As I learn more and more about blogging I am reminded about how our students feel when they master a new skill. After a frustrating start, I felt so proud of myself when I successfully put the slide show on this page. I want to make sure that the positive energy I feel now is something that all of the students experience many times during the school year. I think it is important that all adults challenge themselves to learn something new so that we can be reminded of the sometimes tentitive first steps and final success that our children feel as they face and conquer challenges throughout the school year.
