This week the Toddlers are exploring the Wild West. We have lots of fun things planned as the week goes on! On Monday, we sang, “Shoo Fly Don’t Bother Me” at group time and did a fun (and messy) art project to go along with it. In the sensory tub, the boys and girls can search for gold! The children are making new friends and loving all of the new centers we have put out for this week.
We wrapped up our third week of summer camp today!! Yay! We had so much fun exploring music and instruments this week! The children were so excited to play with the inflatable guitars and take them home at the end of the day! We also painted pictures of guitars for our art activity. The children enjoyed playing in the water table with ice, sparkles, and music note confetti. Today, we had a very special treat- ICE CREAM!!! We enjoyed a refreshing treat on such a hot, summer day! Thank you so much for joining us this week!!!

We had a GREAT day today! Lots of fun and excitement! The children were so excited to see that our sensory table had sand and dinosaurs in it! Definitely a treat for them! We painted with golf balls by shaking them inside of a pitcher. Our special snack for the day was popsicles! yum yum YUM! We had fun with BEACH BALLS outside, too! Check out the photos from our day:
Today we started the first day of our SUMMER CAMP! Yay! The children were excited to see that our sandbox has new sand and toys. It was definitely a hit today! They also enjoyed playing at the water table! –Definitely an excellent way to cool off while having fun! Miss Kate introduced the children to our new friend: “Sunny the Summer Camp Dog!” He was a part of whole group read aloud time this morning. The children LOVE him!! We also had a blast painting bubble wrap and printing it on paper! At the easel, children were able to experiment with sticky paper and small pompoms. We enjoyed some tasty muffins for snack time. The children were delighted to sing along and dance with Miss Sarah as she played guitar during music/movement time. Overall, we had a great first day, and we are looking forward to more fun and excitement tomorrow!
This week during small groups the children practiced pouring goldfish from a cup to a bowl. We talked about math, science, and volume. The boys and girls also took turns painting fish as the easel blue (color of the month).
To further our unit on things that fly, we have been exploring outer space this week! The boys and girls strengthened their fine motor skills as well as hand- eye coordination by pulling and sticking stars on paper. Each child made their very own constellation. Some children wanted lots of stars where others chose just a few! We also finger-painted crescent moons. The children love to move their fingers through the smooth, cold paint.
