Today the Fox Class went to Texas Roadhouse for a tour and a special lunch.  Summer Campers had the chance to make their own home made bread rolls which were then baked and later enjoyed with a delicious cinnamon butter. After making rolls, campers were given a tour of the kitchen. Everyone was excited to take a brief walk into the huge walk-in freezer where we learned that the meat cutter spends anywhere from 8-12 hours a day cutting meat in. He wears a coat and a hat to keep warm! After the tour of the kitchen , everyone washed up, helped themselves to the soda machine and took a seat at one of the booths. Lunch was a scrumptious pulled pork sandwich with home made french fries. Everyone enjoyed their meal and a couple of the older kids asked the manager to turn on the TV so they could catch the end of the USA vs Germany soccer match of the World Cup. It was a great day for the Fox class.

It has been a great first two weeks of summer camp for the Fox class. Apart from our weekly trip to Lions Park every Monday, our Students have enjoyed Bowling, Discovery Park, the Provo Splash Pad and Lowes Xtreme Air sports.

After visiting Lowes Xtreme Air sports, one of our students wrote, "Today was so fun! We went to Lowes Xtreme Air Sports and I saw one of my friends there that I probably wouldn't have seen for the rest of the summer. I haven't been there for so long and they changed it a lot! I want to go back again."

During Free Time students have also enjoyed playing educational games on our class IPad. After researching free IPad apps I picked about 15 different apps that will help our students develop a wide variety of skills including: problem solving, math (fractions, percentages and simple arithmetic), memorizing the USA states and capitals, understanding and recognizing synonyms, learning The Declaration of Independence, and many other cognitive skills. I have also enjoyed watching our students work together on the IPad to help each other solve problems and play educational games. Here is a website that provides you with a list of 55 free educational apps for the IPad. http://www.teachthought.com/apps-2/the-55-best-best-free-education-apps-for-ipad/

Last but not least, we would like to wish a Happy Father's Day to all of the fathers, uncles, grandpas, and adult male figures in our lives. We hope you like the cards our students made for you!
