Camp Pegasus

Raina treks off to Camp Pegasus each day and she truly loves it.  She swims every day (and now that Raina actually knows how to swim it is even more fantastic), has PE and games, connects with new and old friends, and studies a theme during each two-weeks session.  The first session was all about polar habitats, and she came home each day with new fascinating facts to share.  At the end of the session, the kids in her group performed two plays that they wrote.  The first play was about polar bear parents losing their polar bear babies and all the different ways to get them back.  Raina's play was about tall penguins thinking they were better than short penguins, and then realizing that all penguins are great.

Raina had two speaking lines in the play.  I was stunned and so proud that Raina volunteered to talk! 

Raina's costume was a penguin head / mask.  It was an impressive creation. Her friend Isabel was also a tall penguin.

Independence Day weekend did not have camp, for obvious reasons, so Raina constructed this complex train track instead.  Raina's spatial creativity has really taken off, and she frequently will sit down and draw pictures, create interesting block towers, or build new train paths.  We were particularly impressed with this track because it has so many options for the trains to take; clearly Raina has moved past linear paths and has decided to create more intricate arrangements.  Fun!
