Camp Ehlinger is now in session! Each year I LOVE to end the year with a couple days of Camping with Books, a thematic unit developed and shared with me by
Cheryl Saoud! It's great because I can tear down my classroom, throw up a tent and put out some camping themed centers and call it a day! On day 1 we learn about bee's and their impact on our daily life including the pollination of some of our favorite crops. Day 2 focuses on ladybugs, their life cycle and comparing it to other life cycles we learned about earlier this year. While my students are working in centers I have a chance to clean my classroom for the summer. Our centers this year include:
-Book Assembly (a camp journal on day 1 and a lady bug life cycle book on day 2)
-Crossword and coloring
-Reading tent
-Computers (
