We had a great day with Where the Wild Things Are. The focus of the morning was to ensure students knew the story. Teachers read from a power point presentation of Maurice Sendak's story. With the enlarged images projected on an interactive white board, teachers showed the text and images as they signed the story. This led to some excellent discussions of the story and wonderful theatre reproductions of the story. Campers and staff alike were having a blast acting out Where the Wild Things Are.
After the read aloud--students role played the events of the story. Other students discussed the characters, setting, problem and solution of the story using a graphic organizer. Students also worked on masks connected to learning the concept of monsters and character description. Students were placed into three groups and rotated between art and English Language Arts. Altogether the camp consists of 20 students ranging from age 8 to 18 from all over the state. Each camper's I.E.P. highlights the need for developing a variety of reading, writing and American Sign Language skills. Campers will be working towards these goals and more throughout the week!
We are looking forward to the week full of fun as we explore Max's adventures and his return to his warm supper.
