was that most students only knew tents
through inflatable bounce houses.
So this year we began by sitting outside the tent and discussing:
"How is a real camping tent different
than a bounce house?"
Then we read aloud the rules and entered.
to build 'campfires' and tell stories around them.
younger ones heard about Curious George going camping,
and the picture book Shelter by Celine Claire.
the library transformed into a planetarium,
thanks to a Bushnell star machine, a shadow book, and a flashlight.
Our month ended with the "Super Blue Blood Moon" event--
check out the NASA info. including time lapse video, below.
