It is common at Glitter & Razz camp that Wednesday is the “conflict” day. We have gotten more comfortable with each other over the past 2 days and now we begin to test our bonds with each other. We introduced the Peace Place, our section of the Play Space dedicated to individual quiet time and interpersonal conflict resolution. We tend to mediate the resolution as adults but, the kids got so into it that some girls used it and worked it out without any teacher help at all.
In Drama class, we started working on the plot of our play. We practiced taking turns, listening to each other’s ideas, and creating scenes. Not easy work, but the heart and soul of the collaborative process.
In Move & Groove, we worked with mirroring and then learned choreography and tricks at 3 different stations—hula hoops, veils, and scarves.

In Magic Messes they got to collectively slather paint all over big sheets of paper—later to be turned into backdrop elements for our play.
