Week 1 Theme: Welcome to Summer!
Day 3: Wednesday, June 10, 2020
Welcome to Camp Legend today! I am excited that you came by for some fun camp activities. Each day of Camp Legend will consist of SIX parts -(1) Warm Up, (2) Read Aloud, (3) STEAM Activity, (4) Roll Call, (5) Trail Hike, and (6) Look and Learn. Work through these activities in order (they build up the previous activity) and have fun exploring new things!
1. Warm Up Activity

2. Read Aloud: Andres and His Rubik's Cube Madness
Listen to our read aloud for today!
3. STEAM Activity: Solve the rubik's cube
Today our STEAM activity will be to do the cube - the Rubik's Cube! We will not be using the Engineering Design process today, so no pencil and paper needed. If you have a Rubik's Cube at home, go ahead and grab it now. If not, no worries! You can use an online one, such as: https://rubiks-cu.be/. Solution guides referenced in the video can be found here: https://www.youcandothecube.com/downloads. You will also need a timer today - you can use one online, on a phone, or some other kind of timer you have around your house.

Parent/Guardian Note: If you are unsure how the video and STEAM activity for today can be scaled to the appropriate level for your child, please click here for suggestions, ways to encourage collaboration, communication, critical thinking, creative innovation, and confidence, and STEAM connections.
4. Important: RolL Call!
When attending camp, it is important to know who showed up and participated for the day - just like at school when your teacher takes attendance. Part of our roll call at Camp Legend is to not only know you participated today, but also to see what you created as part of the STEAM activity.
Note: If you are unable to attach your picture of your creation today on the Daily Roll Call form, please feel free to email it to me directly at [email protected] and I will include to be displayed on the Look and Learn below. |
As part of the daily Roll Call, we want to check in and see how you are doing. Sometimes things just don't go our way or are going really well - and this can affect how we think and work, and that is ok! You will see the images below on the Roll Call form - simply pick the one that best describes how you were feeling today!
5. Trail Hike (Optional Extension Activities):
Below is a Google Slides presentation that has a variety of activities that you can explore (or click here if you are unable to view the presentation below). Try one, try two, or try them all!
6. Look and Learn!
When you submit your attendance in the daily Roll Call, you are asked to share which type of Rubik's Cube you took on for the STEAM challenge today. When you submit your daily Roll Call, your first name, age, the type of Rubik's Cube you solved, and the time it took you will show up below (it may take a few seconds and you might have to refresh your page). I know I LOVE seeing what you are challenging yourself with, and I am sure you are curious what others have done as well! So, make sure you complete your attendance (Roll Call) for the day to be included below!
