There is a variety of summer camps offered at ZCS. Please check out a few here:

• • from our athletic director …

    As summer starts to fill up I wanted to remind you that I still have openings for boys and girls basketball camp.  This is a great camp to learn some basics about basketball for beginners but also to gain skills and knowledge for those more experienced.  The activities are geared to the age and skill level of the campers to maximize their learning and fun.  They will be doing a variety of drills, games, and activities that help them have fun and grow in their love for the game.

• from our Spanish teachers…

  Maestra Zondervan will be offering two camps this summer. One option is for 4-6 year olds and the other option is for 6-8 year olds. Registration and additional details can be found here. This camp is open to all children in our community. No Spanish background needed.

  If you have any questions please contact Maria Klompmaker at mklompmaker@zcs.org

What We Have Been Learning:

In Math we explored 3 dimensional shapes. We first reviewed 1 dimensional/flat shapes and then looked at 3 dimensional shapes. We explored the classroom and outdoors looking for cubes, pyramids, spheres, rectangular prisms and cones. This is a great activity for home as well! Keep reviewing shape vocabulary as those are difficult words for kindergartners to remember.

In Daily 5 we opened up all of our book choices and the kids have been loving reading so many different books. I love to see them sharing their book choices and enjoying books together.

In Engaging God’s World this has been a busy week with our PBL zooms. Each child has worked so hard learning and preparing for their presentation. It has been fun to celebrate their great learning. I apologize that I have not taken pictures. It has been busy 🙂

In Phonics we went on vowel hunts. I chose one vowel and asked each child to find something in the classroom that has the vowel in it. It could be at the beginning, middle or end of the word. This is another great idea for home this summer. Get out a clipboard and your child can write what they find as well.

In Bible we have read about the travels of Paul, his arrest and breaking free from jail. The excitement of the early church has been felt and we are reminded to live as passionately telling everyone about Jesus!
