Day 32 Lower Division

We had a great day outdoors today! It was a bit cooler this morning so we spent time outside on the big playground. The children had so much fun going down the slides and jumping on the bridges. After we cooled down with water we davened and did circle time. After such an active morning we were starving. The children had lunch,  then made their own flowers on a straw. Then it was finally swimming time!!!!We splashed around in the pools. Before we knew it, it was time to go home!

Day 32 Lower Division

Today we had a fantastic time. We started the day with lots of lego building. Then we did an amazing job davening. The children sat beautifully for many wonderful stories. Mrs. Doran lent us books to read in camp, and the children enjoyed the tales. Everyone ate lunch after and got ready for pool time. The children cooled down in the water, as well as watered the grass. For our afternoon fun activity, we made our very own chocolate balls rolled in sprinkles or cinnamon. Everyone took turns measuring and mixing the ingredients. While the dough was in the fridge cooling down, we made our own brown bag puppets. It was so much fun.

UPPER DIVISION DAY 31

Upper Division:

Week six was a fun filled week. We went to the Children's Museum, did arts and crafts with Mirrors, Flip Flops,and so much more. Thank you to Rabbi Topek for davening with the kids and doing some inspiring Davar Torahs.   Rabbi Topek and Morah Julie drove the children to the museum, we thank you!

Week Seven is filled with water Play Fun, Water shooters, Water Balloons, and crafts.   Our field trip this week will be taking the Metro Rail and going to the Down Town Discovery Green. Remember to bring a lunch that is easy to carry and two waters or a large water bottle. Please wear modest swim wear and coverups. 
Looking forward to a great week...

Day 31 Lower Division

WOW 7 weeks of camp have passed. Where in the world has this summer gone??? We have been having so much fun that the time has managed to sneak by. This is the last week of camp :( So sad...that means school is around the corner.
Today we started the day discussing health. We spoke about lots of different fruits and vegetables. Then we cut up our very own soup. We put in colorful zucchini, carrots, mushrooms, tomatoes, celery, cabbage, beans, and peas. The soup was scrumptious. While we waited for the soup to cook we enjoyed circle time and story time. We read about Ganzo and his treasure hunt. The children really enjoyed the story.
After that we ate lunch and changed for swimming.
We swam and splashed around. Then everyone came in and enjoyed a warm bowl of soup. We finished the day with yoga for exercise and talked about ways to stay healthy.
Looking forward to a great last week!!!

Day 30 Lower Division

We had an amazing circle time today! Shabbos Party was extraordinary! We had kiddush, apple juice, challah, chips and salsa, pretzels, cookies, and ice pops!!! We said goodbye to Morah Shira, and Morah Jessica. Thank you all for an amazing summer. Then everyone had a blast splashing around in the pools. The kids had so much fun playing with cups and watering each other. Then we enjoyed a late lunch and quiet time with stories by Eric Carle. We cleaned the room for Shabbos, and got ready to go home. We are all ready for the last week of camp....so sad :(
Morah Merari's class had a great time coloring in camp posters and making animal name tags. Thank you Morah for helping us.
Have a great Shabbos,
MJ
