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 also learn everything about the animals in the circus.  

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. Children will participate in crazy hair day activity and they will also experience having their faces painted and to end Summer Camp season we will have a wonderful picnic party where children will share memories with classmates while having an amazing time. 

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

Miss Erika & Miss Janet
