A Fun and Memorable Week Despite the Rain

Today, the rain held off most of the morning, which was good, but it seemed like it was warmer being in the pool than out of it, which always makes it a little tougher to get out of the water. We wrapped up in towels, changed quickly, and headed back on the bus so no one was cold for too long.

Despite a bit of a rainy week, there were countless smiles, laughs, explorations, discoveries, and bright ideas. We are hoping for more sunshine – we are the  [icon name=”sun-o” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Sunshine Group [icon name=”sun-o” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] after all!

Next week’s field trip will be to Hopkinton State Park for kayaking or time at the beach. Send in your permission slips and waivers ASAP next week:

Scientific Discoveries at the Museum

Today we headed out on our first field trip of the summer and everyone had a great time! There was so much to do and see at the Science Museum from bugs, turtles, and other creatures to science at the playground and the giant dinosaur. Other groups had the opportunity to learn about electricity, the human body, pop culture, space, and more!

Tomorrow, we head to the pool!

Please send your child(ren) dressed to swim if possible. Think positive thoughts for sunshine tomorrow as well, as this rain has spent plenty of time with us already this week!

So much to see and touch, but never enough time!
Exploring the world of space in a model space ship!
Checking out fossils and dinosaurs!

Engineering Fun!

Everyone continued to learn and explore the vast world of science today (despite a little rain in the middle of our morning today).

[icon name=”sun-o” class=”fa-spin” unprefixed_class=””] The orange group made tornadoes in a bottle, created leaf rubbings, and played germ tag on the field

[icon name=”sun-o” class=”fa-spin” unprefixed_class=””]  The yellow group talked about the predator/prey dynamic among animals and other creatures and played a game of tag connected to the idea, but the highlight of the day had to be creating a way to keep an egg safe after a long drop from the playground using only a certain set of materials. Many of the eggs survived, but all of the designs were unique and well-thought out.

Important Reminders for Tomorrow

Make sure to have your child bring:
1) Blue camp shirts and sneakers
