This week's theme is Summer because the first day of summer was on Tuesday. We went to Linden Park, Kauffman Park, and Bohlken Park. We had so much fun because we were able to play on the climbers, swing on the swing set, roll the down the hill, etc. Kauffman Park was redone and it looks amazing! The children pretended they were Spiderman because of all the climbing they were able to do! The children used the field toys, played Uno, and made pictures. We made sure we drank plenty of water because it was hot! The children made magnets and did a spinning art project at Weaving Supply Co. There were so excited to do these projects and they wanted to take their stuff home immediately but we had to wait until everything dried.

On the non-field trip days, the children were busy creating pictures, making pretend money, playing games such as Chutes and Ladders and Candy Land. I noticed that the children were reading DogMan book and it seems to be very popular with the children because there's a how-to manual to drawing pictures! It was so interesting and it makes me happy to see them reading the books! We made a blueprint of our dream playgrounds and we made a sun with glitter. The children played with various toys in the classroom and they were building with blocks, magna-tiles, and Lincoln Logs. It was a fun and busy week!

Please make sure your child has sunscreen prior to coming to school and please make sure they have closed toed shoes on so that any debris doesn't cut their foot and/or toe(s). Have your child check their small cubbies for any papers they want to take home. It tends to fill up quickly!
