We have recently learned about Rube Goldberg. He was an inventor. He made these crazy, and very difficult contraptions for doing something simple. This is one of his examples...
Rube Goldberg (1883-1970) was a Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist, sculptor and author.
Reuben Lucius Goldberg (Rube Goldberg) was born in San Francisco on July 4, 1883.
Now we are also building a contraption just like and I am looking forward to completing it.

Graffiti Alley!

 
The 7th/8th grade students took a trip to the graffiti alley behind Load of Fun Gallery and posed for a photograph with some of their favorite pieces.  
The students are using these artworks as inspiration for the graffiti murals that they are designing for the community.
Painting begins this week!

 The students have already begun sketching their mural boards.
Topics included in their murals are equality, respect, art, and diversity.
Students hope to show their community that graffiti art can be used for more than just gang purposes.

 They are using graffiti to express themselves and portray positive messages to the community.

On Tuesday we we went hiking and we visited the Pratt library in downtown baltimore and took a tour of it, also we took an amazing tour of the Basilica . My favorite activity was the Basilica because I learned alot about the history behind it. My favorite class is fitness because we get to run around and also workout. So thats all folks see you next week.

malik wilson

Hey everybody this is Malik Wilson and like i said last i go to V.L.P. and it is awesome. Since I posted Velocipede came to our camp.Velocipede is a place that fixes people's bicycles. They came to our camp to teach us how to fix our own bike. We walked to the down town library and we also went to the basilica Catholic church. We also made catapults and that was pretty fun. My favorite activity  is basketball.i look forward to hiking class .Well I have gosee you later

What did I do?

On Thrusday I had music but it wasnt as great as it could have bin. It was a lot of drama but we still had fun.
On Friday at camped we learnd how to work with bikes with velocipede people that came and showed us    the different parts of a bike. They had us do hands~on activities, like we were working on hubs and takeing them apart and put them back together.
My Favorite activity of the week was yearbook club because we got to take pictures of some of the students at the summer program here and get to do iterviews of the teachers here.
The class im looking foward to the most is yearbook club because I want to learn more about the students here and teachers who wark here and what they do outside of  the camp like when they have free time.

- Mirahh ♥♥

Last week we did alot of things. On Friday we learned about fixing bikes with the right tools. I didn't really like doing it, because to me it was boring. The only part I liked was when we took apart the chain & put it back together. On Thursday we put primer on our grafitti boards & that was fun. I forgot what we did the other days. My favorite activity of the week was basket-ball, yearbook, & drama-rama. Those were my favorite activities because i had fun & in yearbook we have a suprise for everyone at the end of the summer ( when camp is over ) . The classes that I am looking foward to next week is basket-ball, Yearbook, & drama-rama. I have alot of fun in those classes , plus Ms.kate lets us do almost anything we want to & in yearbook I am going around taking pictures of peple in the camp. I'm glad that we  have less people in camp now because we get to do alot more without waiting for people to stop talking. For the 4th of july , I ate crabs then i went to another cookout & they were doing fireworks. Anyway , Byee !
