Virtual Summer Camp - Grades K-3
- These Weekly Camp Activities have been created to help our kids continue to learn over the summer while still having a little fun. Each day will keep them busy for 1-2 hours. Use this each morning or on rainy days!
- Start each day with a Camp Journal. Kids should respond to the prompt in their own words. Do NOT worry about their spelling. Their thoughts and practicing their handwriting is more important during the summer. Add pictures!
- Allow kids to work their way through the Books, Songs, and Videos at their own pace. They should access only one per day.
- Help them to complete a craft each day. Each requires minimal supplies.
- Additional resources, including books, vocabulary, and coloring pages as PDFs are available on a Members Only Google Classroom Page and some will be posted here as well.
- Future themes include: Shark Week, Detective Week, Super Heroes, and Famous Artists.
