SuperYou

While the 3rd and 4th graders kept on swimming through 'Finding Nemo', my 5th and 6th graders got a movie a little bit more suited to their age.  Of course it was still a Disney movie - I might not have made the camp, but I got to pick the movies!!  So for them, I picked 'The Incredibles'.

After seeing which students were enrolled in my camp, I was a little nervous if this particular group of mini-humans would like/accept/gripe/rebel against my movie choice.  Thankfully, they loved it!

And since they are older, they did not get many arts and craft projects; they got vocabulary quizzes instead.  But even those weren't bad.  Especially because each quiz had the possible outcome of a candy prize!  Yup, they're that easy to win over!!

We did do one art/writing project.  

"Make yourself into a superhero!"

I thought they'd love it, I thought they'd be really creative, I thought their imaginations would go wild.

I was half-wrong, wrong, super-wrong.

If one student asked how to spell a word, the rest of the class would also use that word.  What should have been one superhero with the power to never die, turned into ten superheroes with the matching power!!  And so on for every power asked.

But I guess that's what you get from a group of boys who are at the age of noticing boobs and girls.  Superheroes just don't seem as appealing anymore.

Here are some of the superheroes that they created.
