I've worked hard to get my classroom broken down and camping with books prepped. Here's my post from 2011 to give a little preivew of what to expect.
A follower asked on Instagram for more information and this is my response...
On Monday, I begin with a funny video entitled Beginners Guide to Camping. It's hysterical. The kids really gain a lot of information from the video. After, the kids and I create a shared writing on how to set up a tent. I don't correct the kids because I assemble exactly has they directed me in our writing. They quickly realize we missed steps as the assembly goes wrong. I think this is an important piece to understanding that directions have to be very clearly written. After, I have the kids research books and determine the various camp animals that may be found at a forrest campsite. We create a mural which becomes our backdrop for our campsite. Last year, I was able to incorporate Cara's Camping Capers and used her animals for our back drop. That evening, I usually stay behind and set up centers. I bring in a pool, raft, tent, picnic table, etc. Each of my center signs are hung from fishing poles. Each morning for the rest of the week is all camp centers. I used Hope's in second grade and will use Cara's this year. When I was on first, I made centers and downloaded a few from online. One of the centers revolves around a specific insect. I get ants, praying mantis, ladybugs, and worms from Insect Lore. They're really cheap to replace the bugs each year. I have the habitat from 2006 when I started camping. In the afternoon, we watched a Magic School Bus video on the specific insect or one closely related and created a craft to match. We ended our day with camp snacks and a journal page. It's lots of fun!
