Whales are fascinating animals. Why is a “Blauwal” called ‘blau’ and how long is he compared to our classroom? How does a whale breathe? What do they eat? What whales are toothless? How come most whales can survive in very cold water? What is blubber? We will learn about different kinds of whales and their habits, engage in a blubber experiment, and learn the song: "Wal, Wal, großer Wal.” On Thursday, we will go to the Museum of Natural History and visit the Whale Exhibit.

After a short period of free play at arrival, we start the camp day in the circle and learn the basics: ABC, numbers, colors, shapes, new vocabulary, songs, and books related to the theme of the week. Then, we head over to the arts and crafts area, where we will start working on our projects.
Now, we’ll enjoy a hearty snack, and around 10:30/45am we’ll head to Central Park, half a block away. We will return from the park around 12:15pm for lunch. The younger children will start napping around 1pm and the older children will be offered a second period of fun learning.
After Care is from 3-5pm.
