Students enrolled in the Discover American program had an interesting and thrilling week aligned with the curriculum content about Colorado and American natural wonders. The first special activities began on Tuesday, when students were invited to come dressed as explorers or as wild animals. Camping routines inspired the Teddy Bear Gymkhana, which included a table where kids could prepare jam sandwiches.
On Wednesday, Beavers and Bears watched the Bug Stories theater play in the pine area located by the swimming pool. On Thursday, five groups went to Gilet to take a hike, see the forest and learn more about the most common insects in this part of the Calderona mountains.
Some classes also participated in a first aid workshop led in English by one of our coordinators, Ms. Casas.
