Math Through MovementNicole Ruggiero, CoordinatorLearn math through creative movement! Each day chil-dren will begin with a simple math problem, incorporat-ing movement to help find the answer. The children will explore different ways to move their bodies by creating geometric shapes such as a triangle, circle, square or line. By the end of week one, they will have created a shape inspired solo dance. In week two, the focus will be on adding and subtracting, as they create a duet by adding another dancer to their solo, a trio by adding two more people, working towards a group dance. A final perfor-mance for parents will show how adding and subtracting dancers while using shape inspired movement can create a full dance concert. Get ready to learn math skills and move bodies!

Nicole Ruggiero, an elementary teacher in Franklin Twp., has been dancing for 18 years and also teaches dance part-time.

Campers will then brainstorm a list of who they see as heroes and then create and illustrate short writing pieces that tell about the heroes they’ve selected.

July 18–29 Grades 3-5How would you rate it? Campers will first practice what it means to develop their opinions about a specific topic and support those opinions. Next, campers will spend time exploring books from various genres, magazines, and music. They will write reviews of what they read and listen to and share it with their peers. The end of this camp session will culminate with the completion of a group review book that showcases each camper’s work.

August 1–12 Grades 3-5You be the expert! What is it that you know a lot about? Is there something that your friends and family always ask you about because they know you know the most about it? During this session campers will tap into their skill set to determine what it is that they know the most about. They will also delve into books, essays and articles written by various people who are experts in their fields. Campers will close out the session by writing their own “expert” book, article or essay to share with their families and other campers.
