Whether it was art you can see, or art you can eat, it was all about the torches in Mrs. Amann's class at Kindergarten BootCamp! The class made torches with toilet paper rolls and tissue paper, along with ones made out of Cheetos and ice cream cones!
You may also spot a familiar face in the pictures. Abigail Henderson '23 was around to work with the students ahead of her sophomore year at Roberts Wesleyan! Thanks for joining us!

The Camden Girls' Soccer program had a watch party on Friday for the women's bronze medal match between Germany and Spain! They were treated to a thriller where Germany went ahead in the 64th minute, and had to withstand a stoppage time penalty from Spain to secure the win.

The contenders are ready for tomorrow's Brain Gain Institute Potato Olympics!
Mrs. Stauring's Kindergarten BootCampers finished up their Olympic Rings project with Miss Lis today! When they were done, they used their imaginations to go to the "art gallery" where they took time to admire each other's work!

Miss Leone’s and Ms. James’ class in Kindergarten BootCamp made the Olympic torch using water, oil, and food coloring! Both classes enjoyed watching the water and oil separate as well as shaking it to mix them back together! They love science!
Mrs. Kuc, Mrs. Cochran and Miss Mulvaney's classes held an incredible lesson about states of matter! The white stuff you see here is called “Oobleck”, and is named after a substance found in the Dr. Seuss book “Bartholomew and the Oobleck.”
Oobleck is quite an amazing substance. It is made from either a cornstarch and water recipe, or a recipe that combines water, nontoxic school glue, and a small amount of the mineral-based cleaning product Borax. The ingredients combine to create what is known as a Non-Newtonian Fluid.
A Non-Newtonian Fluid is a fluid that circumvents Newton’s law of viscosity. The consistency of the fluid changes based on the stress applied to it. Under pressure, the Oobleck will behave like a solid. Without outside pressure, it will become more liquid and start to take the shape of its surroundings. As an added bonus, you can carefully blow bubbles through a straw with it!
Fun Fact: You may have a non-newtonian fluid in your refrigerator right now! The viscosity of tomato ketchup actually changes when it is shaken, which is why it comes out of the bottle much more easily after you do that.
If you want to continue the fun at home, or do this with your child, it’s easy to do so. There are many recipes and ideas out there online.
Camden's agriculture program and FFA chapter just received a $3,000 grant for the "Lettuce Support Our Community" project! The grant was ENTIRELY written by Camden Middle school Greenhouse Management students and FFA members. The goal of the grant is to provide fresh lettuce to the Camden CSD HUB! More to come on this exciting new project!
The CES Playground will be alive with the sound of music.... namely, drums and maracas! Come make one today with Connected Community Schools!
A new week means more opportunities to make magic happen in our Kindergarten BootCamp and Brain Gain Institute programs!
