Second Annual Summer Camp — A Success!
August 2013
During summer 2013, the Willow Creek
hallways were filled with incoming kindergarteners and first graders
participating in the 2nd annual Summer Learning Camp. This fun,
academic program was based on the thematic units Silly Science, Dr. Seuss on
the Loose, and Deep Blue Sea.
The Willow Creek Kindergarten Team
developed this camp to better prepare our kids for kindergarten and first
grade. The goal for each session was to strengthen literacy and math concepts. In
addition, technology was integrated throughout each day to support 21st
century learning.
The profits from the camp are used
to purchase materials that enhance the primary program at Willow Creek. Five
iPads were purchased last year to support young learners.
As
teachers, we are thrilled with the success of this program. But don't
take our word for it! Here are some quotes from our happy campers:
I love
making the projects. — Faye
We have
fun at recess. — Eric
We went to
the computer lab. — Abigail
We learned
about fish! — Evan
