Summer Camp Newsletters

In our final week of Summer Camp, we continued our "Energy" theme with exciting experiments. We played with static electricity to move objects, explored solar energy's effects, and made music with homemade instruments. Our cooking project this week was to make a colorful rainbow Jell-O cup, which we built up layer by layer over several days.

This week, we started our chapter on "Energy" by exploring light, wind, and sound in our environment. We made suncatchers, pinwheels, and pellet drums to learn about different forms of energy through hands-on activities. We rounded out the week by creating our own versions of "bibimbap," with ingredients such as carrots, peas, ham, and corn.

We wrapped up our chapter on "Art Exploration" by delving deeper into colors, textures, and various artistic styles. From crafting birds' nests with mixed media to creating our own renditions of famous works by Monet, Kandinsky, Matisse, and others, we embraced a wide range of creative techniques. We also expanded our culinary skills as we learned to make delicious wraps this week.

We kicked off our first week of "Art Exploration" at TCIS Summer Camp diving into the world of colors, textures, and patterns. We experimented with various painting techniques, created unique brushes, and drew inspiration from famous artists like Mondrian and Picasso to craft our own masterpieces. In our cooking class, we shaped adorable bunny-themed rice balls.

We had another dynamic week at TCIS Summer Camp, diving back into our "Water" curriculum with more experiments, art, and sensory play! Our science explorations focused on concepts like density, capillary action, and surface tension, with engaging experiments combining art and science. We also tried our hand at engineering by building a watermill, practiced fine motor skills through various water transfer activities, and rounded out the week by making a refreshing fruit salad in our cooking activity.

This week, our focus was on "Water." Students learned about water's movement in ecosystems, conducted experiments on its physical properties, and created many water-themed art projects. Through hands-on activities, students explored various aspects of water, from its scientific characteristics to its practical uses. In our cooking class, students learned to make fruit smoothies.

In our third week, students continued explored the world of animals, focusing on birds' anatomy and adaptations, as well as various animal defense mechanisms. Our activities include hands-on experiments, art projects, and math activities, all centered around animal themes. For our cooking class, students learned to make their own parfaits from yogurt, oats, fruit jam, and fresh fruits.

Our second week of Summer Camp focused on "Animals," exploring various aspects of animal life including life cycles, habitats, behavior, and diet. Students compared different species, studied terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and had hands-on experiences like observing snails. Additionally, we had a cooking class this week where students learned to make sandwiches, rounding out a diverse and engaging week of activities.

Welcome to the first week of Summer Camp! Our theme this week was "Plants," where students learned about plant growth and conducted many fun experiments with plant cells. In our cooking class, students enjoyed making ice pops with blended fruits.
