Deep Sea Diver

Issa finished her last week of camp for the summer. This week, she was a deep sea diver! A week in lunch notes:

Monday:

 They learned about nautical navigation and how sailors used the stars to steer the ship. The museum brought in a mobile star dome, and Issa came home telling myths of the constellations. She is an awesome story teller.

And...that note is written on the back of the bottom of my grocery list. I almost forgot, and I had to so a make-shift version in the car.

Tuesday:

 Issa learned about the different ecosystems in different parts of the ocean. She made a coral reef, and they even made "scuba suits" from two liter bottles.

Wednesday:

 Invertebrate day! Issa loves jelly fish (because she has never met one in the open water), so she was thrilled! She has been walking around classifying invertebrates and vertebrates and looking for animals with exoskeletons. When those big words roll off her tongue, I can't help but be in awe of my baby.

Thursday:

 Fish day! They learned about how some fish hide and how some fish talk with light. They talked about food chains and how different fish swim. She learned so much she is still throwing out random fish facts.

Friday:

It was whale day! They talked about why whales are not fish. They measured how many campers it would take to be the same size as different whales, and they talked about how something that big floats.

It was another wonderful week, and Issa is still good tired from such adventures. She is already waiting for the camp brochure for next summer...and that makes my heart happy.
