Summer Recap and September News

Summer Recap:


Time flies by when you're having Fun! As we close out our summer program, we are reminded of all the fantastic adventures and learning experiences we have shared within our school. In July, we had four new themes, one for each week: Party In The USA, Underwater Adventure, Outer Space, Volcanoes, and other Eruptions. Each theme brought many learning activities, immersive education videos, science projects, and fun art projects. This month, some unique visitors came to our school for entertainment. We had a magician named Magic Joe, who made the children laugh with funny jokes and close-up magic tricks. We also had Ranger Jack come with his puppet friends, and they had a musical performance with which the children got to sing and dance. Our last visitor of the month was from Kids Reptile Parties, where they showcased some reptile friends that the children got to hold and learn interesting facts. Every Tuesday was our scheduled bubble day, we had water play and water slide days rotated each week, and the children got to enjoy a nice cold popsicle outside during Fun Friday. 

 

In August, our monthly themes were Down On The Farm, Camping, Things That Fly, and Fitness week. The children enjoyed learning about the different types of animals on a farm and learned about the hard work and dedication it takes to operate a farm. Things that Fly was a favorite this past month; the children watched educational videos on the different forms of transportation and created fun art projects such as airplanes, hot air balloons, and even trains. Walking around the school and seeing the students exercise in the classrooms was fun during our Fitness week. They learned yoga poses, stretches, and what it means to be healthy and strong. Our school was also able to celebrate Summer by holding our School Carnival! Thank you to all the families who participated in the carnival fun, and a huge thank you to our parent volunteers. We had many exciting booths during the carnival, such as temporary tattoos, face painting, a petting zoo, and even a train. In the last week of our summer program, we had our school spirit week, where the children dressed up to show their school spirit. We had superheroes, princesses, wacky hair, and sports displayed all week. 

 

September News:


Our new school year has begun, welcome September! We are excited to start our new school year with an All About Me theme. This theme will allow the students and teachers to learn about each other and make new friends. It is an excellent theme that will enable the children to share their favorite things, learn about each other's families, and make them all feel comfortable with each other. This month they will also learn the classroom expectations and more. Please keep an eye out for some important dates in our weekly Friday newsletter this month.
