The elementary roller staking party at Mt. Scott was super fun!

Today we had 2 special guests visit the Doug fir classroom.

Erik from Sellwood Cycle (and Gus and Cory’s dad) began a bicycle repair and maintenance workshop that will continue throughout the year.

Cynthia, Oz’s mom, began an eight week animation program where the Doug fir children will create puppets and them animate them using stop motion. They experimented and made a short movie today.

Check out the daily story for a short video from the after school puppet class.

This week we spent tons of time in the garden – harvesting berries, greens, and peas, watering plants and playing in the sandbox! We learned a couple new songs, read some stories, wrote labels, and had new lessons like egg peeling and discovering what is magnetic or not magnetic. We made mint tea with the mint in our garden, and a salad with homemade dressing with our greens! We made it to Berkeley Park once this week and had lots of fun at the playground. In extended day we have been reading Charlotte’s Web and having lots of time playing in the sprinkler! I’d say it’s been a very successful first week of camp!
