Week 3 - Our First Field Trip!!!

We are finding our stride! Campers are getting used to the structure of the schedule, everyone knows the expectations, and we are holding each other accountable, just as responsible people do! Our community time (which is usually structured like a book club-style discussion after a short movie) featured discussions on: the importance of reading (vs. watching television), good work habits, making friends and using our imaginations. The campers are becoming quite the authority of these topics! Please ask them daily what we discussed during community time (and focus areas). They should always have something of substance to report!

Our first excursion to LSU Museum of Art! Week 3 was quite exciting! We rode a yellow school bus to the LSU Musuem of Art, and had lunch on the waterfront downtown! Campers recreated art (with oversized puzzles), did "I spy" (by searching for art in the musuem), and played games.

Focus area topics this week:
- Self-Mastery: It's OK to have different feelings
- Community: I am an important part of nature's team
- Health: Nutritional value (reading labels) and milk taste test
- Socialization: I respect other people & I am a good friend.
