Dear Parents:
The children have been enjoying summer camp and all of the fun activities we have provided for them. We would like to thank Hiccups the Clown for entertaining us and making us laugh, the children had so much fun! We would also like to thank Happy Feet for providing us with their wonderful program that many of the children are participating in! We have been busy discussing summer, the beach, summer fruit and summer snacks… our favorites are ice cream and watermelon. They have been playing musical instruments, having a lemonade stand, dressing as superhero’s and singing summer songs too!! The children are looking forward to more fun activities this month!!
Everyday at circle time we will be reviewing numbers, letters, colors, shapes and our daily songs, we will also be learning about fish, summer fruits, insects and the beach. We will be doing sand art and tasting all kinds of summer fruit. The children also enjoy doing music, movement and exercise everyday and they are really doing well and they love to do their projects too! **TODDLERS will be picked up at the WHITE DOOR (Miss Erika’s class ONLY) This avoids traffic in the hall – Thank you!**
Miss Dawn’s Child Care Summer Camp is in full swing!! The children truly enjoy it! Hopefully everyone will participate in this wonderful event for it to be successful. Please look for the Camp Calender next week for all of our exciting August events.
This month we have planned a visit from Guide Dog Foundation Puppies, Happy Feet, Touch Tank, Making Toys for Toddlers, favorite color day, show and tell, stuffed animal day, pajama day, Treasure Hunt, ice cream day, crazy hair and sunglasses days, a Pizza party and more!! The children are looking forward to all of these fun activities!!
We would like to offer a wonderful camp setting without the outrageous cost of camp. We will be creating an atmosphere of exploration, discovery, and excitement. Our aim is to provide an atmosphere for your children filled with wonderful memories that you both can share forever.
Our picnic’s have been a great success!! The children love eating outside on beach blankets and singing summer songs. PLEASE send in a sandwich on picnic days as it is easier for the children to transport and eat outside.
Some of the fun filled Camp Activities that the children will be doing are:
