Ms. Heidtbrink’s 5th grade class (@114CampAllen) took their history lesson to the next level, examining maps of eastern VA to determine the best location for early settlers to establish Jamestown, for what would become North America's first permanent English settlement!📜

🎳Strike! PE at Camp Allen is a blast – we’ve been mixing bowling with fractions! Mr. Seeley helped our Dragons roll into math lessons, scoring strikes and learning fractions in a super fun way. Sportsmanship and teamwork were the day's MVPs, as we cheered and calculated!🐉

🐉🔬Kindergarten scientists at Camp Allen made a big discovery! Using Petri dishes, our little Dragons collected samples to see how germs grow. The result? A clear view of why handwashing is so crucial! 🦠👀

Dirt alert in Mrs. Flanigan's 3rd-grade class, who got hands-on with soil science, exploring 3 types of soil. Welcome to Ms. Pugh, our new Teacher In Residence from ODU, diving into active learning. Observations were made and minds were expanded... and then, hands were washed!✨
