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 Johanna from the Child Care Council for providing us with the 3D Art program, the children made such great things! We would also like to thank Toby from Party Kingdom for providing us with a Big Splash as we had fun on the water slide! 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!!
REMINDER: HICCUPS THE CLOWN IS VISITING MISS DAWN’S AUGUST 5th!!!
This month we have planned a Touch Tank, Happy Feet, Patulous – the different catapillar, 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!!
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.
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! Our number & alphabet writing is progressing along wonderfully. The children love to come up during circle time to write their name and letters.
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.
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.
Some of the fun filled Camp Activities that the children will be doing are:
- Party Kingdom, LLC.– Sports, bowling, bouncer water slide, tumbling, parachute, bubbles & more.
- Hiccups the Clown – A clown will come to visit with us. She will be doing magic tricks, face painting and animal balloons.
- Happy Feet – Story time with a soccer ball.
- Arts & Crafts – The teachers will be making all kinds of wonderful ceramics, paper mache’, tie dying, 3D Art and more!
- Exercise/Dance – The teachers will show the children some basic exercise and movements.
- Music & Movement – We will be singing and dancing with the children using all kinds of fun instruments.
- Marine Science & Environmental Education – Touch Tank – during this unique and fun activity the children will learn about local marine fauna in a hands-on way when the marine educators bring a touch tank full of live sea stars, shellfish, crabs, snails, and fish right to Miss Dawn’s.
- As well as, Treasure Hunts, Carnival Day, Pizza Party, Obstacle Courses, Crazy Hat Day, Ice-Cream Parties, Picnics, Magic Shows, Water Fun and more!
The cost of camp will be an additional $50.00 a month per child for July and August. The additional camp cost will only be for the months of July & August. Please submit your Camp fee as soon as possible in cash in a separate envelope for both months. The fee will help to cover the cost of all the great activities and special lunches we will be having.
Summer Camp will run July 7th – Aug. 29th. We hope that everyone will participate. Our desire is to give the children an action packed safe and happy summer.
