Nassakeag’s Pre-K Enrichment students recently wrapped up their study of lightning bugs with a fun and imaginative Camping Day celebration. The classroom was transformed into a cozy campsite, with tents replacing traditional tables to set the scene.

Throughout the day, students engaged in camp-themed activities, including a campfire story time, singing songs around a pretend campfire and playing bingo with a camping twist. They also created their own s’mores craft and enjoyed a special treat – s’mores trail mix.

The experience was a joyful way to bring learning to life and celebrate the wonders of nature through creativity and play.
