Summer Fun

This summer our two classes participated in a whole lot of fun! We started our summer planting seeds, watering and watching our plants grow. By the end of the summer we had lots of dill, basil, sage, cucumbers, watermelon, tomatoes, swiss chard, beets, carrots and broccoli. Our students took the time to wash and cut some vegetables for snack. We got creative and decided to make lip stick with our beets. It made eating vegetables so much more fun!

Our classes stayed cool several ways this summer. We learned to make sandcastles, had water balloon fights and enjoyed some time at the pool. 

We had the opportunity to continue partnering with McPhail Music School through the summer. The music teacher brought in several different instruments for the kids to learn about and practice playing. 

On top of learning about new instruments the children also focused on learning about animals and the biomes they live in. They created their own biomes to learn more about the characteristics that make up some animals environment. We also learned all about author and illustrator Eric Carle as many of his book have animals as characters. 

Our families took a trip to the Children Museum! Everyone had the opportunity to climb ladders, wash cars, make mud, create monsters, dance and experiment with gravity. ​

We ended the summer saying our goodbyes before sending our students off to kindergarten. And, welcomed our new aide, Olive!

​Congrats to our smart, independent, and kind graduates! What a fun year it was!
