โ๏ธ Summer Week 1: What Can I Use to Investigate?๐
Our young campers kicked off summer with a week full of discovery and exploration! As they dove into the theme, "What Can I Use to Investigate?", the children became junior scientists, using a variety of tools to observe, question, and learn about the world around them.
We can't wait to see the curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking that emerge as our campers explore, investigate, and learn together all summer!

๐ก Did You Know? Playing with balls helps children develop hand-eye coordination, balance, spatial awareness, and gross motor skills. It also encourages teamwork, problem-solving, and confidence as they learn new ways to move and play!
At The Goddard School, we love creating opportunities for children to learn through active, hands-on experiences every day.
