Her head was in the clouds...




...and her crayon was on the paper, as Amy showed the Explorers Club how to find shapes in the clouds and transform them into heavenly works of art. After completing today's weather chart, the most creative toddlers in BoCoCa braved the heat and explored the Brooklyn sky to find a rhinoceros, a door and even Curious George in the clouds!

The Explorers in Kisha's Mini Michelangelos class exercised imaginations in the cooler clime of the New York City Explorers Atlantic Ave classroom. It's a good thing 2-year-old Explorer Coley was outside with Gayla, Amy and the very cuddly Curious George for this class: If she thinks the dragon in Shrek 2 is scary, the monsters that Kisha's students crafted out of paper bags, googly eyes and pipe cleaners would have terrified her into an early nap!

As scary as the monsters that came out of Mini Michelangelos were, they didn't elicit the volume of shouting that can always be heard coming out of the classroom during the baby-friendly Miles, Marley and Mozart class on Tuesday mornings. Of course, the shouts that Judah, Ava, Tessa and their friends let loose during Boerum Hill's favorite toddler jam session were shouts of joy, as they clapped their hands, stomped their feet and boogie woogie woogied to the jammin' beat!

Before spending the afternoon enjoying their Lango Mandarin class with the Explorers Club, the junior campers experienced a closer view of New York City's clouds than did their younger friends. Brittany and her pint-sized friends enjoyed a view of clouds and skyline alike as they traveled 250 feet above the East River on the Roosevelt Island Tramway. http://www.ny.com/transportation/ri_tramway.html

Today's heat had neighborhood Explorers and parents hurrying into the play space as fast as little legs could run, but in this Mediterranean weather, Keyanna's senior campers toted backpacks and water bottles all the way to Italy! Little Italy, that is. Hot Italian food inside followed by cool Italian ice outside: Now that's amore!
