Today we started the first day of our SUMMER CAMP! Yay! The children were excited to see that our sandbox has new sand and toys. It was definitely a hit today! They also enjoyed playing at the water table! –Definitely an excellent way to cool off while having fun! Miss Kate introduced the children to our new friend: “Sunny the Summer Camp Dog!” He was a part of whole group read aloud time this morning. The children LOVE him!! We also had a blast painting bubble wrap and printing it on paper! At the easel, children were able to experiment with sticky paper and small pompoms. We enjoyed some tasty muffins for snack time. The children were delighted to sing along and dance with Miss Sarah as she played guitar during music/movement time. Overall, we had a great first day, and we are looking forward to more fun and excitement tomorrow!

The Early 3’s know what ingredients you need for a good time! They made waves that they can keep forever in a plastic bottle. All you need it a water bottle with blue food coloring, some cool glitter and a little vegetable oil. Oh, and a good strong arm to shake the bottle and make the waves!

Winter is over…that can only mean its a great time to wash your cars…no matter how big or little! The Early 3’s had a blast getting to wash our toy cars in a giant bucket of soap. This is a great fine motor exercise because we use our tiny hand muscles to squeeze the soap out of the sponges!

You can’t have a fish theme without going fishing! The Early 3’s used fishing poles with suction cups to pick up card board fish! Who got the catch of the day?

The Toddlers had a blast dancing to the music this week. We turned off the lights and jumped around wearing our glow stick necklaces. The pictures are a little blurry but you can see how much we were groovin’ and movin’!!

This week during small groups the children practiced pouring goldfish from a cup to a bowl. We talked about math, science, and volume. The boys and girls also took turns painting fish as the easel blue (color of the month).

This week the Toddlers marble painted the letter Z. They rolled the marbles back and forth to make the zebra’s stripes!
