<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #ff9900;">Carnival</span></strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;"></span>This week is Carnival Week!  That means we got a super fun bouncy house all week to bounce around in.  It has a slide that we get to go down when our turn is up.  In Art we’ve been working on watercolor paintings of carousel horses.  Mister Ray says that horses are some of the hardest things to draw, but the Hawks did a fantastic job completing them.  In Science, we figured out how many drops of water could fit on different coins, and then had to save Fred the gummy worm from the capsized cup.  Hollywood has been tons of fun.  We got to try acting games where we did “knock knock” jokes with different emotions.  In the pool we’ve been working on our kicks and dives.  Tomorrow is the carnival and everyone is looking forward to dunking Ronnie in the dunk tank!  We had Magic by Stu earlier this week and Ozzie and Mia got to be magician’s assistants.  We were all super proud!  It has been a fun, magic-packed week for the Hawks at Future Stars.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> Super week everyone,</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">This week the Hawks and Gophers learned about the importance of fuel in a fun way. In Science Ryan, Kanayo, Nate and Shreya volunteered to get their bodies traced to learn about the different organs in our bodies. In Hollywood we are learning to sing and dance to “Fun, Fun, Fun” by the Beach Boys. Melanie, Avery and Hannah learned the dance quickly and helped others in the group learn it. In Sport we played a fun game of “Capture the Flag”. Lola and Jasmine did a great job guarding while Adam and Kai helped their teammates get out of jail. Wednesday in Art we made crazy hats out of tissue paper. Caroline, Trey and Ozzie made some awesome looking ones! On Thursday in Science we conducted an experiment by taking the DNA out of strawberries. Katherine, Carlin and Varsha did a great job mashing them up and extracting the DNA. Mia, Michelle and Nate had a lot of fun in the pool as we played sharks and minnows. This was another great week in the Hawk/Gopher group and we can’t wait for the next week to get started!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">This week in the Hawk/Gopher group we did a lot of fun activities and were very well behaved as a group. On Monday, we attended a jump rope show that all of the campers enjoyed. One camper said, “I liked it. It was really good!” On top of that, one of the Hawk/Gophers was picked to participate and did a great job doing some cool jump rope tricks in front of the whole camp. Tuesday was probably our best day as a group. Not only were all of the campers well behaved but we as a group won the spirit stick for coming up with the best cheer on cheer day! All campers make solid contributions. On Wednesday we had a lot of fun, especially in pool. In Hollywood everyone was engaged and having fun learning their new dance.</p>
