Hello Parents!
Today was a very special day, as it was the last day of
summer camp! Next week we will be
starting the academic school year through June of 2013. We are very excited about the new
school year and have many fun and exciting activities planned :)
This morning, our class enjoyed a few bowls of some hearty
cheerios, bananas and milk. After
breakfast, we found our way back to class, being able to freely choose our
activities for the morning.
Dramatic play was a popular area.
Our girls and boys enjoyed taking down and using dishes, food and
dinosaurs for teacher-guided free choice!
After the early morning free curriculum choice, the kiddos were able to
explore playdough in Ms. Annie and Ms. Kelly’s room! We have the same kind, but apparently its much more fun to
play with playdough in our old room :)
On the large table, new puzzles were available. The three puzzles included “ABC
puzzle”, “Dinosaur puzzle”, and the “Automobile puzzle”. Wouldn’t you know it, the fire engine
was a favorite puzzle piece (which reminds us, please look on your Shutterfly
for the field trip to the Firehouse)!
During the last little bit of free activity choice, children
went potty, then came back to clean our room up a tad :). For our Summer Fun Day, we decided to
listen to Frogtown, dancing at the song times, then our Lullaby Collection
(getting out our blankets and sleeping buddies. And finally, going on our last buggy for a while! Next week we will have a full class of
friends, some new, some not, and we couldn’t be more excited!
We took lots of pictures on our buggy ride, and had a lot of
“going fast” times, since it was our last one :) The kiddos had an awesome time watching Ms. Kelsey and Mr.
Tim sweat from running and pushing the buggy so much! :)
We came back into our room after the buggy ride, found
stories from our library, got out beds, blankets and bed sheets, and had a VERY
relaxed reading time (most of the young ones were sprawled out on the floor,
ready for nap:). But we were more
excited to eat lunch. We lined up,
sang our ABC’s, counted to 20, using the poster on our door, and said our
blessing as we marched quietly into the cafeteria. After ham, turkey, cheese, break and milk were gobbled up, a
special treat was handed out for our fruit portion! Fruit Pizzas!!!
Most of us picked off the strawberries and blueberries, leaving the
crust (shortbread) alone :)
Nap is going great.
We are getting a lot of rest for the long break :)
A special note- All six of our girls were dry for their late
morning potty trip! Way to go
girls! And our boys were only damp
:) Good job class!
