Camp Fox Rocks Really ROCKS!

Today was the first day of Camp Fox Rocks!
We ate pancakes for breakfast, then wrote a post card to someone at home. We wrote in our journals, and made camp necklaces with beads on them.

At SQUIRT time (silent reading), we got to turn out the lights and read with flashlights!

Tiny disclaimer : These were taken with a cell phone!

Red Explosion!

Last week, we had our final Wear Read Day. This one was extra special because it was called RED EXPLOSION DAY!

Fox Rocks!

Communities Project

We have been studying different types of communities in our class. We have talked about urban, suburban, and rural communities, and how they are different. We've talked about renewable resources, and the differences between "needs" and "wants".

Each team worked together to make part of our enormous community. Each child made a house, and each team made 2 businesses. Check it out!

OMSI!

Our class had so much fun at OMSI this week! Here are some pictures of our great day:

The Ball Room was very popular...

Darian made an air rocket blast off!

Ella is blasting off in her space ship!

Some people made structures that would survive an earthquake - then they got to push the earthquake button and see how the buildings did!

Paper airplanes...

Controlling robots:

These girls made a roller coaster for a ball to zoom down - like a real roller coaster!

These creatures are called axolotl. They are in the salamander family.

We saw HUGE walking sticks! Our walking sticks are about as long as one of these guys' antennae!

Great leafy camouflage!

Here's that fun ball room again!

We stopped by the chemistry lab:

These boys built an arch out of foam blocks, similar to the St. Louis arch. It was tricky!

Science is so much fun!
