HAPPY AUGUST!!
We hope everyone had a wonderful July! The children had so much fun learning about Fourth of July, Fish, Summer Fruits, Insects and the Beach. The children have been enjoying summer camp and all of the fun activities we have provided for them. We would like to thank Cornell Corporate Extension for teaching the children about the many sea animals presented during the Touch Tank Program.
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 many projects and crafts and 
tasting all kinds of summer fruit. The children also enjoy doing music, movement and exercise everyday! **TODDLERS will be picked up at the WHITE DOOR (Toddler Class ONLY) This avoids traffic in the hall – Thank you!**
Miss Dawn’s Child Care “Summer Camp” is in full swing. The children are truly enjoying it! Hopefully everyone will participate in this wonderful event for it to be successful. Please look on the website for the Summer Camp Calendar for all of our exciting August events.
We are having a fun filled summer at Miss Dawn’s with many exciting events and programs. Please look for the Summer Camp Calendar which is on the website to see what activity is scheduled each day.
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:
- Hiccups the Clown: Tuesday, August 15, 2017 – A clown will come to visit with us. She will be doing magic tricks, face painting and animal balloons.
