Counselor vs. Kids Friday!!

Chatham Week 2

Here in Chatham Friday means a couple of different things. First, it means the end of a great week. Then, it means camp shirts and treasure chests. Most importantly, it means counselor v.s kids at break time. At break its a battle between the campers and the counselors and teachers. This week we played capture the chicken and four corners. Everyone had a blast! We aren't sure who won in the end but we all had fun!

Creative Writing Takes Over the Blog

Chatham Week 2

Greetings from the International Ivy Week 2 AM Creative Writing class in Chatham! We are very

excited to be here this week. This class is made up of two awesome, amazing, artistic writers!

We love this class for many reasons! Mostly because we love to write! And we have an amazing

teacher, Michelle! We make amazing poems and short stories.

Although it is a short week because of the holiday, we are working very hard and having a great
time and learning a lot. On our first day, we learned about personification, simile, and metaphor.
Today, we used photographs from home to inspire our poetry using what we learned so far. Some
of the activities were poems, rhyming games and making up stories. We meet here to learn and
have fun!

“My favorite part was making the poems because you get to tell how you feel and you rhyme.”

“My favorite part of the class is being able to be creative with stories.”

Later this week, look out for some amazing short stories! We are so ready to write, and we love

this class!
