 Our 7th week of camp started out with seeing some old friends again!  We welcomed some returning campers back to camp!  It is so nice to have them back with our Pandas / Ducks 1 group.  We started the day off with playing some fun board games, puzzles and reading books in the Panda Room.  It was a nice way to ease into the camp week.  The campers had a lot of fun keeping cool and having fun playing the games. 

Afterwards, we headed to art where we colored puzzles that we can take apart and put together.  Some of us have a little bit of coloring left to do, but the puzzles will be coming home today and can easily be finished with markers at home.  The puzzles all look great!

Next up was hollywood.  We were treated to viewing clips of movies such as "Cars" and "Finding Nemo".  We really loved watching these clips from the movies.  Later on this week, we'll start to practice for our big camp show next week. 

In the pool, we continued to work on our kicking skills.  We swam and practiced putting our faces into the water, too.  It was so much fun!

In science, we got to see some very pretty rocks that another camper had brought in for us to see.  There was a pretty blue rock, crystal rocks, and even a tiny bit of gold. 

We had a wonderful start to our week and we're looking forward to more fun in the days ahead!

<strong>Tuesday:</strong>

The Pandas/ Ducks 1 campers had a fun start to the day.  We began with playing "Run the Bases" in the gym and it was a lot of fun!  We had many laughs.  Afterwards, we headed to art where we were able to create a poster that involved the theme "Under the Sea".  Our masterpiece will be on display during our camp performance on the last day of camp.  It sure looks great!

During hollywood, we played some fun games and spent some time practicing our camp cheer for later on today. 

Next, we headed to the pool where we worked on kicking with the kick boards, floating on our backs, making bubbles as well as swimming with our arms.  We did great working on these skills and are becoming better swimmers each day!

In science, we watched more of "A Bug's Life" and really enjoyed watching this fun film.  During our computer class , we played some fun games on the computer. The highlight of our day, however, was performing our camp cheer for the entire camp. Ask your Pandas/ Ducks 1 kids the words to our cheer- think of the old "Toy's 'R Us!" commercial and it should give you a tiny hint as to what we sang.  It was fun performing this cheer for everyone to hear! :)

We can't wait for tomorrow for more fun and memories! 

<strong>Wednesday:</strong>

Our day at camp started out with two fun games in the gym.  First, we played a game of "What Time is it Mr. Fox?" as well as "Red Light, Green Light".  Both were a lot of fun and the Pandas/ Ducks 1 campers enjoyed every minute of it! 

Afterwards, we headed to art where we made some cute fishes as props for our camp show next Friday.  We are really looking forward to performing in our camp show!

During hollywood, we began to practice the songs that we will be singing in our damp show and we are certain that the Pandas/ Ducks 1 campers will do a great job.  Our camp-wide show will revolve around the theme of movies that take us "under the Sea."  :)

Speaking of water, in the pool today we got to practice our kicking and floating.  We even got the chance to practice blowing bubbles in the water!  The Pandas/ Ducks 1 are really are making a lot of progress in the water!  We're so proud of them!

Later on in science, we got to see butterflies up close!  The kids had so much fun getting to see them!

In computers, we got to play some fun games on the computer which is always a blast for us!

We really had a fun day at camp!  Tomorrow is sure to be another great day and we're looking forward to it!
