Alice in Wonderland

The Mad Hatter was there....(okay it's Max, but doesn't he look great? The kids were so happy!)

Even Alice came....

Wonderland Week

Tea Parties, Caucus Races and their favorite, the climbing tree. Wonderland is our week 6 summer camp theme and we are off to great start. Today we matched wooden numbers to playing cards, we set our table for tea and made paper crowns with many hearts.
I love these kiddos~ full of wonder and wonder-full.

Sprinkler Fun

Dinosaurs ROAR!

Dinosaurs never fail to entertain preschoolers!  This past week we made clay dinosaurs, painted dinosaur tracks, even guessed the names of dinosaurs we could not see that were hidden in our mystery bag! 

 Some of us followed instructions on how to draw our own dinosaurs (Lucas made this beauty of a long neck dinosaur above).

Mostly we enjoyed pretending to BE dinosaurs! We learned what made the dinosaurs either carnivores or herbivores and we classified them into groups.  This lead to a discussion about what we as humans eat and why.  I feel a lesson about nutrition being cooked up for the fall curriculum! Pun intended :)
The week ahead will bring us back to a time long, long ago....once upon a time.
See you all then!
In PEACE,
Jennifer

Summer Camp

 Summer camp has begun and so has the summer fun!  I know Oliver looks less than thrilled in this photo below but really, he's just about to say, "CHEESE!" :) We've been enjoying the weather (except for the thunder storms) and we've been loving the weekly summer camp themes; art projects every day and mostly created outdoors!! Here are some quick pics of the children: 

 Making new friends,

hanging out, having fun

exploring nature and keeping cool!
There are still some summer camp openings.  Call for more information. 930~5311
I hope all of you are enjoying your summer thus far.
In PEACE,

We found a Leopard Slug!

 Some of us wanted to kiss it?

 Others were unsure.....

 Most of us checked it out and moved on to explore the play-yard for other creatures.

Summer is here :)
