Towards the end of school the kids are burned out and don't really want to do much school work. I was impressed with the school because they do these Kuentz Kamps.
The Kamps were on May 15th, 16th, 19th, 20th, and 21st. They sent home pamphlets with a list of all the classes offered for the kids to choose what they wanted to go to. They had a week to return their top 3 choices. Some of the options were: Crazy about Science, Dancing Dudes and Divas, Mixing up Healthy Snacks, Fairy tales with a Twist, Around the World in Five Days, Grillin', Sew Much Fun, Poetry with Pizzazz, Animal Silhouettes, and Zumba Fun. Being new to the school we did not know that they fill up really, really fast. Brayden turned his in the first day, but his top choices were already gone. He was really bummed about what his options were and didn't really want to choose. I let him know that he better choose quickly from what he had left so that he wouldn't get stuck with something that he really didn't want to do. He ended up choosing Games From the Past. When he came home the first day, he said that he wished he had done the healthy snacks because they got to make smoothies, then later they did pizza and quesadillas. On Brayden's first day they spinned tops, he said they watched a neat video of a guy doing tricks with spinning tops. On the 2nd day they played jacks - he said he got the lowest score and that the 2nd day was worst than the first. On the 3rd day they did marbles and the 4th they did pick up sticks. The last day they were able to choose to take home a game and he chose pick up sticks.
Julia had the P.E. coach, Coach Decker and did art work on old wood. On the first day they got a notebook where they sketched out a couple of pictures. The 2nd day she worked on the silhouettes of the flower. The 3rd day they painted the background. The 4th day they painted a flower, and the 5th they did the final details. Julia really enjoyed it and has requested to hang it in her bedroom.
