This was the final week of the summer program, with a water-fun theme all the way through. The kids explored different watermelons, blew paint through straws to make watercolor art, had a full outdoor water balloon day, and then cooked a feast: Hawaiian pizza toast, fresh lemonade, chopped veggies with hummus, and diced fruit. Science was hands-on water experiments — they built a water filter from rocks, pebbles, sand, and coffee filters, and made a solar still to watch the water cycle in action.
