We started off the day with Young Athletes with Coach Matt and Jaxon, working on our trapping and catching skills. In the Sapna Room, the Roots kids painted some "Greek pottery" inspired by Greek mythology. Meanwhile in the mat room, Coach J led a Spontaneous activity for the Roots kids. In the Book Club we made fortune tellers and read more of the book "Holes". In the Mat Room, Coach J and the Branches worked on a Spontaneous storytelling challenge. Sapna Shorts was in full swing, filming and editing the latest edition of "Hungry Jaxon".
FRIDAY
September 9th - Pajama Day!
Everyone looked great in their pajamas! The Branches mentors planned a great Pajama Olympics in the mat room, complete with fashion show, yoga, interview sessions and obstacles course. Everyone really had the chance to shine. Mr. Nick taught us about the Ancient Greek water clock, clepsydra, and then our young scientists had the chance to create their own. We also celebrated Jaxon's birthday and wrapped up our Greek Unit watching Hercules. In the afternoon, Greek mythology portraits continued to unfold and students picked their polis for the history simulation.
That is it for this weekly newsletter, hope you had a great weekend!
