Park Time

During the summer months, the large playground at a nearby elementary school is not in use. Every week students take a walking field trip to explore the park area and different playground structures. The fire truck structure is always a favorite pretend play spot.

Sugar Snap Peas

The sugar snap seeds we planted a few months back have flowered and are now producing pods. Everyone is excited to pick some and sample all the care we've given them.

Father's Day

We attached buttons, using tacky glue, onto basic plastic frames for our father's day gifts. Each student placed a picture of themself inside and on the bottom center we wrote, 'Cute as a Button".

Camping Day

One really big tent,

sleeping bags,

and friends.


We hiked through 'the woods' at a nearby park before coming back to school and discovering the large tent out back. Everyone was so excited to spread out their sleeping bags and play inside the tent. We used our water tables outside the tent as our 'pond' and enjoyed a special snack as well.

Smores

Smores were a hit during our camping unit. The real ones were tasty to eat and the pretend ones were very fun to make.

M is for Mask

Students had a chance to play with some fun masks this summer during M week. We learned that some masks get tied on while others have to be help up.

P is for Postcard

We had students decorated cardstock with markers to create their postcards. They were able to dictate a letter to the person of their choosing. After all the postcards were made and stamped, everyone got a chance to put their postcard in the mailbox.

School Picnic

Baseball

Games

Bubbles

Food, Family, & Friends!

Yogurt Parfaits

Children helped to make yogurt parfaits as a special treat for our school picnic. We used an assortment of fresh berries, granola, cereal, crushed graham crackers, dried cranberries, and organic vanilla yogurt. The children were taught how to layer the ingredients in clear cups. They added a few sprinkles on the top to make them extra special. This was a yummy treat that everyone enjoyed.

Decorating Cups

We found these plastic cups on sale and thought they would be perfect for our upcoming school picnic. Permanent markers in various colors were used to draw pictures on the cups. After the children finished decorating them, we used a thick black marker to add their names.
