We're having an amazing day at LEAP's summer literacy camp. Section 8 (rising 4th graders) played addition/subtraction football -- you can see the offense adding three numbers to see how many yards they advanced (but the defense will soon subtract three numbers and push them back!).
The rising 1st & 2nd graders learned about the amazing structural strength of domes by piling books on eggs. (Not to worry, the eggs were in a ziplock bag that contained the mess!)
The eggs held 16 pounds!!
But the highlight of the day was the punch made by section 7. After learning base 8, the children used that knowledge to figure out how many cups of various ingredients were needed to make punch for all 98 kids in camp. One of the ingredients called for 100 ounces! After figuring out the math, they made and served punch to everyone; being good hosts, they served themselves last.
