What we are learning?

Dear Parents,
 We hope you are having a beautiful week. This is our last week of summer camp and we want to make sure children have fun while learning.  This week children will enjoy being little magicians and clowns. Children will discover interesting facts about the animals in the circus. We will talk about elephants, lions, bears, and dogs.
 We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills so children can continue learning through experiences such as:

·         Participate in crazy hair day.
·         Read storybooks about the circus.
·         Play with animal circus puppets and sing songs.
·         Play with colorful parachutes and move them up and down. 

Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great weekend.
