Colonial Times

This week’s theme at The Goddard School of Wall was Colonial Times!

On Monday we celebrated Thanksgiving in August! The Get Set campers talked about what they were thankful for and created some turkey art. Our school age campers had fun with spin art and made some very cool paint designs. Tuesday was “Stars & Stripes” day and Ms. Amie’s class made their own American flags out of construction paper and discussed how many stars are on the flag and why. Ms. Kristen’s campers learned the Pledge of Allegiance. Colonial Times week continued on Wednesday with “Life on the Farm”. Our school age campers made their own ducks with construction paper and paper plates. Ms. Kristen read her class a great story called Baby Animals on the Farm. Thursday’s theme was “Native American Head Dress” and we discussed Native Americans in Colonial America. Our preschool and school age campers made macaroni necklaces – just like the bead necklaces Native Americans used to trade for goods during Colonial times.
Amazing Athletes visited us on Friday and we had lots of fun with kickball. We can’t believe its August already!
