<strong>Tuesday: </strong>

Today was very exciting! Our group was excited to come back from our mini vacation this past weekend. Everyone spoke about their trips down to the beach this past weekend, but now it is time to enjoy our first day back in camp.  It is exciting to see a couple new faces in our Penguins 2 group! We had a fun filled day today.  We got our creative juices flowing in art.  We also started thinking about what we wanted to do for our commercial this week. Overall, it was a great first day back with our new camp counselors!

<strong>Wednesday:</strong>

Today, the kids were on their best behavior!  We started the day with computers where the children learned how to play "Binky Bear's Apple Catch."  This game ties together math and fun.  Next, we went to snack and treated the campers to snack time outside.  After snack, we went to the pool.  The campers are improving their swimming skills rapidly.  Next, we had sport and game time where we used hula hoops in our activities.  The campers had a competition to see who could hula hoop the longest and we also made an obstacle course.  We then went to lunch where the Penguin twos were praised for their manners.  After lunch, we had art.  The campers made bookmarks which looked like bugs.  After art, we traveled to Hollywood where the campers made commercials advertising their favorite toys, such as webkinz and beanie babies.  Then, we traveled to science which is our last period of the day.  In science, the campers learned about the fragile relationship between humans and our environment.  At the end of the day, the campers were very orderly even though they were exhausted.  We are sure they will sleep well tonight!

<strong>Thursday:</strong>

Today was an exciting day! We started off by having snack time outside and enjoying the nice weather.  Then, we moved onto Hollywood where we finalized our commercials.  Our commercials are about toys, make-up, dolls, and flowers! In art, we were able to create our own little figures with their own outfits.  We were able to show what colors and shapes we like on our own outfits.  In science, we learned how density and buoyancy work together! It sure made our heads think hard about the difference between something less dense and weighing less. The kids were able to make their own predictions on whether an egg would float in different liquids. Overall, today had our brains working hard in every aspect of the day!

<strong>Friday: </strong>

We began our day by playing on pbskids.com in computers which the campers loved! We also played running bases and the campers enjoyed the game!  After that, we went to lunch where the campers were on their best behavior as usual.  In the pool, several campers advanced to the next level for swimming. We ended our day with a luau where we played many games that the campers loved!  Ask your campers to tell you about the luau and the games they played! Overall, we had a great day and week at Future Stars and look forward to next week!
