Abigail Waiting for Lily to get out of Gadets, Gizmos and Goop Class
Lily has completed 6 weeks of Summer Camp at St. Mary’s School and it was worth every penny. There were two sessions, each lasting three weeks. I was nervous at first because each hour she started a new class and needed to navigate her way there. When she was in Kindergarten the teachers took the entire class from place to place, but now she was kind of on her own to get to the next place. I did find out the the teachers do help direct them so she did have some guidance.
My biggest annoyance was the stupid Snack Cart that they had set up at recess and lunch recess, Lou dubbed it the “Crack Rack”, it was filled with candy and chips costing anywhere from .10 cents to $1.00. I only gave her .50 cents per day and on one day I did not give her money because her behavior the night before did not warrant the candy ‘reward’. However a little girl gave Lily $2.00 because she felt bad that Lily didn’t have any candy money and as I recall that was the day that Lily came home with a stomach ache. I think she learned her lesson that candy is best eaten in moderation.
She took some great classes such as Art Explorers, Dynamic Detective, Gardening, Hip Hop, Legos, Gadgets Gizmos & Goop and Scrapbooking. She was busy all day and she loved it, this was great practice for her when school starts in a few weeks. She will be entering First Grade, thank goodness we are done with those stinky 3 hour days of Kindergarten. She is sooooo ready for First Grade even though she will be turning 6 a few weeks after school starts I still believe that we made the right choice to not hold her back a year.
Here are some photos of her time during Summer School.
And here is a video of her Hip Hop class performing for the school.
