Summer Fun and Learning

The York Suburban School District’s “Step It Up” Elementary Summer Camp provided an opportunity for students to learn and have fun.

The camps ran Tuesdays through Thursdays from June 16 to July 23.  Each week had a different theme.

During the week of July 7 through July 9, the theme was “Growing” — plants and food.  Four classrooms at the York Suburban Middle School provided separate rooms for students who will be first and second graders to hone their math and science, and language arts skills.  The other two rooms provided learning opportunities for students entering third through fifth grades.

In the accompanying slide show, students in the language arts program work with teacher Stacy Houck on garden-themed words.  Other photos include students sampling watermelon, a farm-grown produce, and creating their own terrariums in plastic water bottles.
