Last week of Afterschool at Times2

To celebrate the last week of after-school at Times2 Academy, the Charter Corps team worked together to end the 2011-2012 school year with a bang. To celebrate the beginning of summer, Charter Corps provided after school activities open to all 3rd-6th grade students at Times2 regardless of whether or not they stayed for after-school on a regular basis.

On Monday students participated in "Summer Day" themed activities. Students enjoyed a special treat of ice cream and were able to participate in a water balloon toss. They were also able to take advantage of the Times2 and Hopkins Park playgrounds to enjoy the beautiful June weather.

On Tuesday students had a blast participating in "Video Games Live". They were given the opportunity to play life-size versions of Tetris, Duck Hunt, Angry Birds, Wii Sports, Mario Obstacle Course and Pacman. The students had a blast exploring all of the real life simulations of the video games they know and love.

On Wednesday students watched two different movies, "Rio" and "Captain America", while enjoying a delicious movie theater popcorn snack. Following the movie students were able to burn their energy from sitting through the movie by running relay races and playing the game "Octopus".

Finally on Thursday students attended a Hawaiian Luau Dance to conclude the week of festivities. Before the dance students enjoyed a special snack of juice and fruit snacks. During the dance students participated in a hula hoop competition, limbo game, hula contest, and of course, dancing! Students really enjoyed the fact that there were competitive activities mixed into the dance. Time2 definitely has some very talented hula hoopers and the competition was very steep!
