Camp Day 4!

It happened again! Another great day at Bubbles Academy Summer Camp!

This day seemed to have two themes, one planned and one spontaneous: 

Theme one was all about the human body. We started talking about our bodies at during opening circle time when we answered the question, "What do you do to keep your body safe and healthy?" We gave some very informed responses: some of us run to stay fit, some of us wear a helmet while bicycling and others eat healthy foods.

The second theme of the day, friendship, became a focus more and more over the course of the day as the Bubbles Teachers watched their campers build bonds and help their friends.

Amelia took a sad friend under her wing first thing in the morning by saying, "Do you want to be my friend?" Amelia stuck by her friend (now happier to have a buddy) during each activity and helped her to participate and feel welcome at Bubbles Camp.

During art, Ben told all of his friends, "You all can come over to my house after." Everyone thought that was a great idea.

We split into two groups again today. During the first half of our day, some of us went to the roof to play games with Miss Tamara! Everyone's favorite game seemed to be crab ball, where you walk around on all fours like a crab and kick the ball with your feet -- it was so much fun!

While one group was with Miss Tamara, another group was with Miss Steph, taking a trip into the human body. We looked at the bones and organs in our diagram boy's (Arnold's) body. We felt our own lungs get bigger and smaller, felt our hard bones, and then jumped down Arnold's throat to save Arnold from his sickness. Once inside his body, we went into his belly to see what he ate then got absorbed into his bloodstream to find the viruses. Then we made Arnold cough and jumped out of his mouth.  Graham had so much fun in this part of camp, he exclaimed, "I could do this all day!"

All that running around on the roof and talking about what Arnold ate made us hungry, so we decided to sit down for snack time.

After a super fun snack time, when Miss Tamara wore a pair of silly glasses that turned her into a goof-ball teacher, it was time to break up into our groups again. Unfortunately, Miss Tamara did not leave her silly glasses on to teach art.

Meanwhile, Miss Steph was teaching a yoga class during which we rolled around like monkeys, kicked like donkeys and waddled like penguins.

Last was our goodbye circle, the perfect chance to show off the crazy banana song we had learned earlier in the day! We shared our favorite parts of camp, including (but NOT limited to): running around on the roof, searching for viruses and crab ball.

See yah tomorrow!
