The theme for Georgia Academy for the Blind's summer camp this year was Wild About Learning, with a safari twist. I taught four Art and Literature classes a day. Students made paper maché animal masks and each group learned about animal related literature, such as the Caldecott book "Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears." They ended up writing a haiku about the animal that that they chose for a mask.
We also went on a field trip to Dauset Trails Nature Center, which is like a free outdoor zoo with rescue animals such as bears, otters, and eagles as well as a farm animal area. I'm always happy at the end of the week, getting to know the students in a relaxed environment where they can learn without the pressure of credit and grades.
