Below is a link to a fun, interactive keyboarding website for students to practice their typing skills. With the 5th grade writing SOL being computer-based (test given around March each year), we want to provide the tools for our families to help practice these important lifelong skills. It is also a lot of fun!

CAMP INVENTION – A program of Invent Now; Let Your Child’s Imagination Soar!

 

Children entering grades one through six will be immersed in a weeklong adventure of creative problem solving. This is a chance to enhance your child’s education while they have fun this summer!

The CREATE program is coming to Bristow Run Elementary July 23-27, 2012 from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm.

 

Want your child to satisfy their natural sense of curiosity after the school year ends? We can help!

This summer, Bristow Run Elementary School PTO is hosting Camp Invention, an exciting week of science FUN for children in grade one through six.

 

A safe, creative outlet for children, Camp Invention allows participants to explore the unknown, tinker with ideas, and ultimately, develop their leadership and entrepreneur skill set. Your child will be building long-lasting memories while discovering solutions for real-world problems.

 

This year’s CREATE program features; 

Ø  Saving Sludge City – “Green up” a contaminated wasteland and rebuild an eco-friendly city!

Ø  Problem Solving on Planet ZAK – Use creativity to survive a crash-landing on an alien airplane!

Ø  I Can Invent; Balloon Burst – Take apart a broken machine!

Ø  Action and Adventure Games – Create your own new game!

 

As enthusiastic advocates of hands-on learning, we are thrilled to bring this opportunity to our community.
