Artist Display and Science Before Heading Away...

We are wrapping up camps for the summer. Analise just finished an art camp with Ella and Tessa. Analise liked learning how to weave and doing work with mosaic tiles.

With Friday open, we decided to do something for everyone. For Analise, we checked out the open gym so she could show us her new skills on the bar and vault. Then we headed to the beach so mom could swim under the clouds. Our final visit was to Paint a Plate so Emma could show us her perfect painting skills. As Emma outlined her perfect hearts on her mug, mom and Analise worked on a flower bowl. The flowers ended up looking like runny undercooked eggs. Thank goodness we were there for the experience and to support Emma in her desire for the perfect mug.

Next week we have our final camp of the year. Emma is taking a STEM and medicine class and Analise is doing film making. Analise will get to write a script, act it out, add special effects and edit her production. Emma will get to explore forensic anthropology to learn more about how scientists use bone structure to help identify different bones, will do virtual dissections, will learn the science behind standard medical tests such as X-rays, CTs, and MRIs and will get to look at gene therapies and mRNA science. Each day her group will be given a made up patient to diagnose and treat.

Next up, Boston Trip!
