Reading Tree is so excited to merge with Aspiring Artists to offer students this unique opportunity again this summer! This three-hour session gives students entering first through third grade the chance to participate in an academic session and a creative session each day for the week.

During their Reading Tree time, students will have the opportunity to extend the learning they’ve done during the school year. We’ll work on reading, writing and phonics each day, and children will have a chance to learn through play during our independent center time. Mrs. Lee will meet with students in small groups to ensure their specific skills are growing. Kids will be motivated to build on their individual skills, no matter where they are currently reading, moving them to greater independence and encouraging them to employ a wider selection of strategies while reading.

During their Aspiring Artists time, students will be exploring the use of polymer clay and their imaginations to sculpt a garden fairy/gnome house. They will be working to build different parts of their houses a little bit every day until it’s complete by the end of camp. They also will make their own tie dye summer shirt and get to experiment with special summer camp supplies to bring out their inner artist.

**Lorri and Melodee will form balanced classes based on enrollment. We will notify you about the order of your child’s morning before the session begins.
