  • Summer Camp Week 3 :: Days 2 and 3

    We continued our music theme for the week with exploring musical instruments, singing, dancing with ribbons, and so on! We’ve had a lot of fun in the music center. Also, I brought in my guitar, and we sang together at the end of the day. Miss Kate taught the children a new song: “The Baby Bumblebee Song.” It was an instant hit! 🙂 The children also enjoyed the bee wings we made to go along with our “Flight of the Bumblebee” theme for day 3. Aside from the music theme for the week, the children had fun playing with bubbles and bouncing in the bouncy house.

  • Week 3 of Summer Camp! {Music}

    We started music week this week! We set up a fun music center for the children to play instruments and sing. The sensory table was also a fun place to experiment with musical instruments and sounds. In addition, we painted ties for Father’s Day! Looking forward to more days of music this week!!

  • Week 2 of Summer Camp!

    We’ve had quite an exciting week of COOKING! The children loved making strawberry jam, pancakes, and carrots with hummus! We also created caterpillars in a jar to go along with Eric Carl’s book “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.” Children enjoyed playing with the colorful pasta in the sensory table. This week, the children brought home a rolling pin and play dough to practice their cooking skills.

  • Day 3 of Summer Camp!

    We had another day full of activities and fun! Our focus for the day was “jumping!” –And LOTS of it! Today, we brought out the bouncy house! It was an instant hit!! We sang the 5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed and did a craft related to the song/book. We enjoyed watermelon for our special snack for the day. Our art activity for the day was making monkeys with footprints! The children laughed about having their feet painted!
