<strong> Monday:</strong>

The Pandas / Ducks 1's campers had a great start to the new week.  We started our day meeting new friends and seeing our old friends, too.  Our first activity of the day was games, puzzles, and reading books in our Panda room.  Afterwards, we went to art class where we created various dinosaurs, people and, other fun objects out of Model Magic clay.  It was a lot of fun and we loved every second of it!  In the pool, we continued to work on our kicking and are getting more comfortable with basic pool skills, such as getting our faces into the water.  After pool, we headed to science where we were able to let our creativity flow with crayons and paper as we created pictures about recycling and how to take care of the Earth.

Computers was fun, too!  We had the chance to play games on the computer that goes along with our theme of the week which is "Blue and Gold."

We had a wonderful first day of the new week and are looking forward to more fun ahead!

<strong>Tuesday: </strong>

Pandas/ Ducks 1 campers were ready for another fun day at camp.  We started our day off with a fun tag game as well as a game of "Red Light, Green Light".  Afterwards, we headed to hollywood where we practiced our movements and words for our camp cheer.  We also had fun playing word games.

In the pool, we worked on kicking, floating on our back, and swimming out to our counselors.  It was nice to keep cool on a warm day.

Later on, we went to computers where we were able to play a fishing game.  We fished for fish and when we caught one, we got a point.  It was a lot of fun!

We had a very fun day at camp and can't wait for more fun tomorrow!

<strong>Wednesday:</strong>

Our day started out with some fun in the gym.  We played a camper favorite game of tag.  We loved it!  Afterwards, we headed to the art room and colored our "clay" creations from the other day.  We used markers and made our masterpieces look fantastic!

Hollywood brought us a fun game of Jeopardy.  We answered questions about music, TV shows, geography as well as math.  Our Panda/Duck 1 campers were split into two groups and played against each other.  Both groups came out as winners, though! :)

In the pool, we worked on kicking to our counselors, putting our faces into the water as well as getting more comfortable in the water.  We truly had a good time keeping cool in the pool.

Computer class brought us more fun games on Nick Jr to go along with our theme of the week, "Blue and Gold."

To end our day, we had sports, which we loved!

Every day at camp, we are learning lots and having fun with our new and old friends.  We are looking forward to more fun tomorrow as we are nearing the end of our fifth week at camp!

<strong>Thursday:</strong>

Today, we started off our day with our favorite game," Running Bases!" Today's winner was our buddy, Patrick. Afterwards, we enjoyed some snack with some delicious lemonade.  We then moved onto art where we made chickens on a cup.  For the project, we worked individually and put tissue paper on a plastic cup.  All the Pandas/Ducks 1 worked hard to cover every part of the cups.  

Today, at the pool, the Pandas/Ducks 1 showed their confidence in trying to learn how to swim and others worked on improving their skills in the pool. Later on, in science, we tested how many pennies could fit on an aluminum foil boat. The most that we were able to put on the boat was 53 pennies before it sunk! In computers, we played more fun games on the computer to go along with this week's theme of "Blue and Gold." The kids had fun in computers as well as their other activities throughout the day.

Overall, it was great day in the life of the Pandas/Ducks 1! :)
