We welcome all families to our Starr King Summer of fun!
We are excited to explore and discover this summer with all our participants!
Summer Interns
This summer we have a couple helpful interns! We welcome back past Rising Starrs ASP participants Xotchitl and Jenny with our leadership program! They’re in charge of planning/prepping the structured games choices we offer during lunch recess as well as our weekly sports tournament. Their daily help makes the greatest difference to our staff! We can’t WAIT to see how much they grow with us over these next few weeks.
Week One's Theme
Our theme for the entire summer this year is discovery! Throughout each week, our participants will focus not only on a topic of discovery – but also on a characteristic! This week, each class focused on discovering space and learning the meaning of perseverance. During our library trip on Tuesday, students were able to check out books on science! The picture on the right side shows how ecstatic our first grader Clarence was to find some books on his favorite hobby! Yesterday our participants were able to see all space has to offer at the Chabot Space Center.
We also have our participants playing in weekly sports tournament. This week our tournament is “Hockey Shuffle Board.” Our tournaments are every Friday!
Thingamajig
Every week classes will be using recycled or old materials to build something for the BIG SCIENCE EXPO we will ALL participate in on Thursday, July 13th in Golden Gate Park. There will be over 1500 YMCA campers. This last week we focused on “Making it Better” Thingymajig projects! Next week our Thingymajig theme will be “Toy Master.”
Keep dropping off building material and ask your youth about their Upcycled project!
