End of Summer Camp Party!!

Already? YES! Time flies when you're havin' fun...our last official day is Wednesday the 28th! Then we'll have a few weeks before school starts back up in the Fall (well, that's really august around here!). So we had to have another celebration...a pool party and a BBQ!Here we are playing with the Earth Ball water sprinkler that Dylan shared with us. The kids ran around in circles, screaming and screaming, and laughing and laughing!! Dylan brought in some yummy 'worms in dirt' for dessert!Not a bad spread for a preschool party, huh?! Thanks everyone for your contributions! We had a great BBQ lunch!

Here we are enjoying our BBQ lunch...Mitchell, Dylan, Michael, Kenzie, Gram, Kate, and Carly. Kaden was able to join us for some swim time towards the end of the party...we had to have the whole group together one last time. :)

Have a great end of summer! Looking forward to seeing you again next year...FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL IS AUGUST 11TH!!!

Recycle, Reuse, Reduce!

This week we are talking about ways we can help our environment. Yesterday, we took all of our broken pieces of crayons and melted them into one BIG crayon. We also took empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls and taped them together to form a marble race track...which was lots of fun racing each other to see whose marble is the fastest!

Today we took empty milk jugs and cut out a hole to use as a toy to catch a homemade ball in. In the picture above you can see the kids in action playing with their "new" toys. We also did a toy swap today where the kids could bring in one of their toys from home that they don't use too often to trade with someone else. In other words, they came with one of their old toys and left with a "new" toy. This encouraged reusing, sharing, and using Earth's resources wisely.
