Welcome families! We dove into our first week of Summer Camp with a study of water, exploring its different states, discussing the water cycle, and learning about where water can be found in our everyday lives. Throughout the week, we used droppers and pipettes to transfer water, created water cycle diagrams, washed toy cars, and participated in a variety of hands-on water activities.
We read Chinese stories such as “水从哪里来的,” “小水滴历险记,” “我是水,” and “兔弟弟的节水妙招” as well as English books including “Hey Water!,” “Water Safety,” and “Drop: An Adventure Through the Water Cycle.”
For our cooking activity, we made refreshing ice pops using fresh watermelon and mango juice. We practiced good hygiene by washing our hands thoroughly before cutting the watermelon into small pieces, blending it with mango juice, and pouring the mixture into molds to freeze overnight.
Outdoors, we enjoyed playground time with bouncy balls, obstacle courses, and plenty of bubbles! On Wednesday, Coach Evan led our first soccer class of the summer and introduced a fun new running game.
A reminder that TCIS will be closed on Friday, July 3, 2026 in observance of Independence Day.
Have a great weekend! Stay tuned for next week’s theme: Nature Discovery!
Students made colorful prints by adding paint to a special solution in a tray, swirling the colors, and gently placing paper on top to transfer the colors.
Students used droppers to add water to a plastic bag, sealed the bag, and placed it in the window to observe how water can evaporate with the help of the sun, condense into water drops, and “rain” back down.
