End of Session One

Greetings families and students of the ICS Summer Fun Camp, Session One:

It's hard to believe the two weeks are over already!  For those of you who will be moving on to other things, thank you for joining us and have a wonderful rest of your summer.  For those of you who are back in session two, we're looking forward to seeing you next week for all new games & activities!

I will be stepping down from my brief time as director, and would like to welcome the talented Mrs. Juniata Wible who will be taking over as the Director of Session Two.

Thanks to all for a memorable week!

May God bless you as you continue to enjoy your summer, whether it is here or elsewhere.

Regards,

Chris Meyer,
Director of Session One

Age 4: End of Session One

Dear parents,

ICS summer Camp is terribly sorry that your child could not make it to the last day of Session One. On behalf of the teachers and the assistants, I would like to thank you for enrolling your child into the Summer Fun Camp. We hope that your child had a meaningful learning experience, and we look forward to having them in the Second Session or in 2015.

Yours sincerely,
Reuel Prasad
Assistant Director

For our last day of Session One Drama we had a choice of activities after we reviewed the stories we read throughout. The children enjoyed playing charades (acting out an action or thing) or making up a sequential story and illustrating it in a "magic book." For those not returning for Session Two - enjoy the rest of your summer!

Today in art class, red A, B, & C finished their puppets by adding final details with crayon, gluing on googly eyes and adding pipe cleaner arms. Yellow D & E class completed all their unfinished art projects in their art folder and played "knees on blue.”  Meanwhile, children in Red D, E, Yellow A, B & C made a colorful bookmark with transparent paper. Since it was the last class of session 1, children were given time to complete any work they had not finished and they brought their art portfolio home.

Today in games & movement for Red D& E and Yellow A, B, & C:  we talked about sharing the good news, and ran through our mega whopper super awesome obstacle course!The Day 9 Theme for red A, B, & C and yellow D & E:: Fruit of the Spirit.   We will discuss the "fruits" inside us and how we can show them to other people.
Activity: it is a game called fire, wood, water.

In art - Today was our last day of art for Session 1! All students finished any incomplete projects, filled out a Week 2 Review Sheet, and had the opportunity to begin working in the Coloring Book they made yesterday as a class. We had a great time learning about how to use art as a gift, and the students are very excited to finally bring home their Art Folder portfolios full of beautiful projects! Mr. Tim, Miss Cher and Miss Faye all hope you have a fantastic and keep making art on your own at home!

In Games & Movement for the last day of session one, the students requested to play the all-time favorite, 'doctor-dodge ball'. We played girls against boys, teachers against students, and free-for-all death match. By the end of class all students and teachers were exhausted!
