Day 17: Math, Reading, and Mind/Body Tricks

Day 17 was another great day at Team Taekwondo Summer Camp.  We started the morning with Box Ball. Next, the Tigers continued their week long reading challenge. They also practised homophones and their impromptu speaking skills.  The Dragons worked on their addition and subtraction facts, as well as spent time reading stories to the counselors.  Master Sky led another hard work out and add in some fun and games. After lunch, the middle school group worked on their Algebra program, while the rest of the campers watched a movie. For Hands On Science, we learned a few mind/body tricks.  First, we tried a few mind-boggling optical illusions.  We also tried to stand up from a leaning position on a wall after taking four steps backwards ---can't be done because the shift in one's center of gravity is too great.  Last but not least, we tried the trick of holding someone down with only a piece of thread across the person's upper lip.  The upper lip is very sensitive!  We also had plenty of free time to play on the computers, build with Legos, play Blokus and Othello, and play on the Kindles.
