Viva Mexico!

Campers had a blast last week making a pinata, cooking and try authentic Mexican food as well as a special drink called horchata. Campers also learned Spanish vocabulary for the ingredients! They practice numbers, colors and Spanish expressions through games like bingo and songs with some dancing. They also learned about the artist Diego Rivera.

July Campers Create a Casa

Campers had a blast using their creativity to create their own casas during camp.

After some fun and games to learn vocabulary:

Campers learned the contents of la cocina (kitchen), el baño (bathroom), el dormitorio(bedroom), el salón de estar (family room), and el jardín (backyard/garden) .

They used their imaginations, a shoe box and A LOT of crafts to create their own custom made casa. Campers then labeled them with their newly acquired Spanish vocabulary. Estupendo!
