Choice day: murals and candle making

 Two other choices today were creating a mural and making candles.

Student reflections:

I had a really great time during murals on Thursday's choice activity as a lot of things happened. For starters, we got to draw whatever we wanted to, they allowed us to have creativity and make whatever. I was able to do a side quest and try and pet the geese that came across the land as well as trying to pick up a bumblebee, which I had failed at both. We also got to listen to music and the counselor had known a bunch of my favorite artists which was very cool!! I got to sing a lot since we were able to request songs while we painted which was very fun to do! Overall, it was a great choice activity that was both exciting and peaceful with lots of things going on!

This was a very fun experience! I liked making the mural and listening to music there!
It was very nice outside too. It was fun that we got to paint! We also got to play games when we finished. It also helps when some of your friends are in your choice day group too. It was a really fun experience to go to KEEC!

This was the best!! They let us make a candle and choose the color and scent, and not only that, we got to put cool patterns!! It was really cool because they did a little guessing game with the scents before starting, so we could test a few of the scents before the rest of the scents, to give us an idea of what the scents are going to be like. It was amazing to hang out quietly with friends and calmly make the candles and the designs. A really cool thing we did was have a little bit of crayon, a mold, a little piece of yarn or string with your scent on it, and hot wax, they let you mix the crayon and hot wax together, to make your color,and then put the string in the mixture, and after they bring it to a fridge to have cool down. After they cool down, they let you use a special type of candle marker, so you can make your own design!! I had the best time making the candle, and my family loves almost as much as me!!
