We had our first Elementary School Camping Club meeting today. Ten children had signed up before the break, but some have not yet returned to YIS so today we had six children and four adults. We began by showing the children how they could use the camping site blog to stay up-to-date with important information regarding our weekly meetings and camping expeditions. The children used iPads to navigate the blog so that they could show their parents around the blog as part of their camping club homework.
Then the children worked in small groups to think about the things they would need to take on a camping trip. Then they came together and shared their ideas. They recorded their ideas under headings such as food, clothing, tools, etc. For homework, the children will compare the list they made with the packing list on the blog and see how the lists compare.
