Poetry and Short Story Caldwell Week 6 Student Blogs

I enjoyed the positive atmosphere and individualized feedback from Ms. Tonya. I learned important things about writing and am glad I signed up to take this class.- Anonymous
Poetry and short-story writing is a very fun class. We've done group stories adding one sentence per person, listened to music and wrote what it makes us feel, and examined other writer's work. I'll be very sad when this class ends. - J.S.


Poetry and short story writing is the best class ever and my favorite class of the week. My favorite thing to do is free write. The teacher of this class is very nice. Her name is Mrs. Tonya. If I were to give this class a rate I would give it a 10. (10 is the highest) some classes get 2's or 5's. - Anonymous 
I love poetry and short story writing! We get to create our own story and have copyright. I really like how Tonya brought in pieces of writing to let us read everyday. We even listened to music and wrote poems. We get 10 minutes of free write everyday. - A.X.



I feel like this class has taught me more of how t o write poems and stories that are short. This class is very awesome, and Tonya is very awesome too. - anonymous

Chatham Campers and Counselors - Week 5




Chatham Week 5 - Video Game Creation

"What I liked about camp was that it was really fun, even when we weren't making our own game it was really fun to know how to make these awesome games and to meet all of my new friends. I loved that my sister was a counselor at Chatham Day School." - J.B.

"What I like about camp is Video Game Creation. I think that fame maker is really fun and I will probably download is at home. I am coming back next week and I have Shark Tank Jr. I am having a great summer." -A.H.

"In Video Game Creation you use a program called gamemaker. It helps you create games easier. It is also very efficient and easy. You can download pics from the internet also. This is a very cool camp." -R.S.

What I Like the Most About Robotics

What I like most about robotics is the building process - one step at a time, piece by piece and focus.  It takes patience and control and at the end it is done and ends up nice and good!  

The End

Caldwell camper: I learned how to creatively think at International Ivy!

International Ivy is the best camp I've been to in many years. As an all day camper, I have two classes with hard working teachers and dedicated counselors. Fun games and activities, like the Color War, add to the experience. I love the creative thinking behind the camp. I'm definitely coming back next year.
