This class is really fun. I learned about a lot of different camera angles and film terms like close-up and objectives. The commercials are really funny and interesting. They are pretty easy to memorize and sound real! I am learning a lot. I am looking forward to the film and TV clip acting.

K.C.

I love camp. It is so much fun. I love the different things that you get to do here. One of the best parts is kickball. During break, I love the different games we do. Camp is really cool. I personally think that whoever comes here will love it.

N.M.
In inventor science we learned that things never pull, they push. We also made an invention using pressure. One thing that was really cool was we lit a match in a pan with water and put a valve thing on top and some of the water in the pan rose up. It rose up because the air was limited and there was too much CO2 so the water got pushed up.
My favorite part about Ivy Science is learning about pressure. I learned about gas, solid and liquid. I love break. You get to play with friends. I love to play dodgeball and kickball.

E.I.
I am in Inventor's Workshop. Today we did 2 ping pong ball activities. We used pressure to do them. We blew ping pong balls out of a cup. We also tried to keep the ball on top of a straw by blowing. It was fun.

A.L.
Today I did a party trick that you fill a water bottle with 1/3 parts water and it has a balloon on the tip of the bottle. When you flip the bottle over, the water doesn't go into the balloon, but it creates a vacuum and after a while it goes completely inside.

Q.V.
Today, we played Capture the Flag and Inventor's Workshop. We learned about air pressure with cool demos and created a machine that corresponded with the lesson. Inventor's workshop is so fun. I love it. The teacher is great and the activities are extremely fun!

Singing Sensation- Week 5 AM- Counselor post

Today was the last day of singing sensation. It has been such an incredible week! I was so lucky to have worked with such talented kids who will all be famous one day! They finished their recordings today and everyone's parents came in to watch them perform what they have worked on all week. It was so successful and each child did so well! I was so proud of how far they had come from Monday.I will miss them all so much and hope to see them next summer!!

My game is going to be about some miners who found an ancient burial chamber underground.  So one of the greedy miners took some gold so the skeletons come to life and try to get their gold back.  So once the skeletons get their gold they are going to punish the humans by destroying the human race and keeping who surrenders as slaves. 

P.C.
Wow, singing is fun!  I just finished recording my first song with Tonya Carmen, backup singer for Debbie Gibson.  Every day we write our song.  Tonya let us pair up, so I have a backup singer.  On Friday we're performing for our parents.  I also just got my 50th Ivy Point - I can get a prize tomorrow!  I'm having lots of fun, and can't wait until the song is complete.  It needs music and editing.
