This week has been another wonderful week! We went on many space adventures this week! The Kangaroos were busy taking off in their space ships that they colored, while the Bunnies and Peacocks drew of what they thought they would see in space. The Roosters and Walrus’ enjoyed reading books about space and even completing a tricky puzzle that revealed a secret about space. Ask one of them to tell you what they saw when they put all the pieces together! Staff Appreciation Day Construction Finally Over! Recipe Fun: This novel cake, topped with crushed cookie “sand”, will be the hit of any beach party!! After your children eat this wonderful cake, scrub the pail and let them fill it with real sand (no eating allowed)! Ingredients: Instructions:
Pelican Class We started the week by talking about space and rockets showing them pictures of rockets in the day and night. Painting with cubes, potatoes and broccoli was so much fun! Jason and Brooks played the game Hand to Hand by giving each other toys and placing them in the container. Sage loves her tummy time and is getting very good at reaching for toys. We all had fun shaking the noise bottles and rattles to make different sounds and singing the ABC song. We talked about the food we eat and looked at pictures of food. Have a great weekend! Ms. Sue
This week the Kangaroos have had fun in gross motor pretending to be a ball bouncing and rolling around the room. We did a hula-hoop huddle to see how many people would fit inside the hula hoop. We quickly found out that to many meant we were all on the floor! :) In fine motor/art we had a vegetable tasting, we cleaned the vegetables in the water table, and then with what we had left over we made vegetable prints. We painted space masks, and colored a space ship. We pretended to ride a space ship and moon-walking was so much fun. We read Goodnight Moon, and went into outer space. Be back soon! Have a great weekend! Ms. Jen
Hello peacock families and friends! We had so much fun with Blast Off week this week. We have been having fun learning about spaceships, planets, and the outer space! We also learned about the sun and the moon too! This week we had a great time painting a group outer space collage with finger paints! We also went on a moon rock hunt outside on our playground; in addition we loved coloring and painting pictures of our Earth with different blues and greens! As the weather is continuing to get hot outside please feel free to send in extra water bottles or cups for your child during playtime. I do take out a pitcher of water and cups to ensure that everyone is staying hydrated while playing! If ever any questions or concerns please feel free to ask! Ms. Lee
Ms. Whitney is out enjoying her summer vacation this week!!! We try to give all of our staff at least a week off in the summer- A well needed one! :) While Ms. Whitney was out the Bunnies and the Roosters were together in the Rooster room. Check out the Rooster blurb to see all the fun things they did! Ms. Whitney
This week the Bunnies joined our class, as Ms. Whitney had a great vacation at the beach. The Roosters and Bunnies learned all about space this week! We did lots of fun space projects including making a space mask, drawing pictures of space, finger painting, a moon and stars craft and space chair art. We also continued to work on our numbers, letters, and imaginative play with one another. We enjoyed the summer fun of riding our bikes on bike day and sprinkler day everyday. We had a great week with our friends and we have lots of fun stories to tell Ms. Whitney when she returns on Monday. Ms. Tracy
This week the Walrus class learned all about space and the stars! We made space suit helmets using paper bags and paper plates and telescopes using paper towel rolls! We used glitter to paint stars on black paper and made “space creatures” out of paper lunch socks! We even made a Paper Mache model of the solar system in a joint project with the Rooster class! It was a great week for science in the Walrus room! We learned about the sun, moon and stars! We even learned about the constellations. As always, we enjoyed our summertime as well. Bike and sprinkler days are a HIT! Have a great weekend and we will see you next week! Ms. Amanda and Ms. Stephanie

The Pelican Class We started the week off with a lot of friends coming back from vacation and some going off to have fun with their families. To have more fun we played with animals in the backyard making several sounds like a cow, horse, chicken, pigs, and all of the others too. We read Baby Animal Book and Baby Zebra so we could learn all about how a baby animal is born and how it’s mother takes care of the baby animal, all about how he or she can tell who his or her mama is by her zebra stripes. We have been looking at pictures of mommies, daddies, boys, and girls and reading the name out to them. Silly songs like 10 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed always makes them laugh and so does splashing their feet in the water to cool them off. Finn and Sage love lying on the floor together while hitting their feet together, smiling at each other and playing peek-a-boo. Exercising on the floor rolling back and forth, lifting and their legs up is also one of their favorite things to do. The Kangaroo Class This week in gross motor we danced to pow-wow music with drums and tambourines, we ran in a circle as a group, and jumped high and low. We pretended to be shakers and were shaking all around the room. We set up a tent and had red blocks as our fire. We danced and played drums at our own powwow. The Peacock Class Hello Peacock families and friends, this week in class we have had lots of fun learning about animals; animals that live on the farm, in the ocean, at the zoo, in the jungle, and in the desert. Lots and lots of animals! We practiced singing Old McDonald had a Farm and other animal songs. Some of the groups’ favorites were 5 Speckled Frogs, Baby Bumble Bee, and Brown Bear! We were able to read all sorts of animal books during our circle time, as well as talking about animals that we have seen in person or in books. We also had fun pretending to be different animals like dogs, cats, fish, birds, and many more. We are continuing to have fun in the sprinklers and we invite you to come and have a fun water day with us when you have some time off. We go out to the water park between the times of 10:15-10:45.
