Week 4 At Chatham

We've made it halfway through the summer program this week!   We are so grateful for each family that walks into our program and we are looking forward to the next three weeks that are ahead of us.

All week long our great teachers have taught a variety of things in both new and old classes.  Our Cutie Cooks class has made everything from cake pops to pesto, while our Engineering of Ice Cream class learned how to make and market a product all while learning the chemistry of making it. Chyten did a great job of broadening the minds of our students in our Shark Tank Jr.  and Reading and Study Skills classes.  Our parents were so proud of their inventors during the presentation!

Our Youngster Program teacher Christina is a weekly favorite teacher from all of our Left Brain and Right Brain mix.  They complete beautiful art projects and are pros at using their computers.  The WeDo robotics youngsters have raced ahead with their projects and have completed almost every animal that they could create.

In Animation and Film Making, the two classes learned to work in teams to develop a plot and the arts of filming and acting. The Anatomy and Surgical Techniques teacher came in with enthusiasm and passion, making the students realize that the medical field and anatomical interests can be found in all parts of daily life.

The Java and Scratch classes challenged themselves and each other through learning the language of the programs and creating games that the rest of the class could play.  Our Minecraft classes learned the art of engineering and working as teams to complete challenges and make their towns successful.  Finally, the Robotics - Vehicles  and Robotics - Animals classes learned the NXT program and learned the different sensors they would need to win their challenges.
