Three Free Interactive Online Summer Camps!
One of my favorite newsletters is Mommy Poppins. They have one of the best and most comprehensive postings of things to do with children in and around NYC. In their latest email, I read about three online summer camps that look like fun for a rainy day!

50 Things to do Before you're 11 3/4!
I just love this idea created by the National Trust in the UK! The National Trust wanted to encourage families and their children to connect more with nature, so they came up with a bucket list of adventures for kids to do before they are 11 3/4! Although the organization is in the UK, the list of activities can be done anywhere! I am including a link for their website if you are interested in finding out more!

Meet the Critters in Lower Science!
Lizzie, our Anole Lizard! By Rosie Kilian, 1-213
Lizzie is very still and very quiet. She is always very camouflaged, she blends in the the leaves and vines. She goes crazy when she sees a cricket! She is green every day, which means she is happy. She has a little black eye and a long skinny body with a long flicky tail. Lizzie is very cute and seems sweet. She enjoys children visiting and always comes out to say hi and greet you!
The Walking Sticks! By Claire Lee, 1-211
The walking sticks eat lettuce. They can camouflage in trees or logs. They are insects. They have long antenna, six legs and their body looks like a stick! Only baby walking sticks can grow back their legs. It is very hard to see the head, thorax and abdomen. They have lots of babies. They look exactly the same except they are smaller. The walking sticks move one leg at a time. They are a slow moving thing. Now you know all about walking sticks. See if you can find one!
Annie, the Red Eared Slider Turtle! By Kate Proujansky 1-211
Annie is a nice turtle. When I brought Annie home she was scared. She is cute and green. She has a shell. She has a hard shell. She hides in her shell when she is scared. She barely comes on her own deck. She only comes on it in the night. She likes rocks. She likes to eat fish. She likes her food. You feed her three times a week.
Hoppy, the Cuban Tree Frog! By Leo Sturm, 2-333
My brother is in the upper grades so he doesn't have this frog for science class. So this is why I took care of him at my house during vacation. This frog really, really, really likes to hide. If you spray water on him he'll move. That's what my brother did when he was in the water pool. I fed it crickets but I didn't see Hoppy eat. One time, Hoppy was hiding and made a noise that sounded like he just ate crickets.

Our Aquatic Frogs! By Isabella Bermudez, 1-209
Water frogs are frogs that live in water. A water frog's life cycle is like a frog's life but it happens in water. Water frogs can't survive permanently out of water. They use their lungs to breathe air close to the water's surface. Some water frogs are kept as pets. Water frogs can breathe under water very easily. Sometimes they will be very still.
