The students built a card board, balloon operated
car and built a cushion type barrier to protect an
egg. In groups of two they devised an elaborate
machine to knock down the “Albert Einstein.”
On Friday they built a catapult.. In Animation their
ingenuity continued and they created Environ-
mental PSA‟s using Flux Time Studio, an online
based animation program. They also created mini
animations in Animationish. They started the week
by making and drawing their own Flip Books. In
Brain Pop they learned about Traditional Anima-
tion vs Digital Animation.
It has been a very production week for
these young inventors/animators. To view the ani-

Recycling, Recreating, Redesigning,
Reconstructing, Reusing! This week the crafty
students of the Recycled Art Summer Camp
created bowls out of magazines, sculpted their
own paper, made robots, jewelry and key chains
out of magazines and bottle tops, and so much
more. “My favorite part of camp was making a
bowl out of a magazine,” one student said. Way
to save our environment crafters!

We had a blast this week,
making masks, treasure maps
and singing pirate songs.
“Argh!”
Our dress up day on
Thursday was filled with many
colorful characters! The fun
continues next week…. Shiver
Me Timbers!
Our push pin parrots came to life this week, as we
studied all about the pirate world! Our treasure maps were a lot of
fun. Perhaps it will take you to find a
hidden treasure! The students en-
joyed the adventures of the Magic
Tree House: Pirates Past Noon.
Next week our enrichment theme
continues.
