Heather and Ben,
Hello and happy summer! Hope you are having a great weekend. There was lots of fun had in the Monkey Room this week. We enjoyed working on a group mural, practicing our cutting skills, had a blast on water-play day, and really had a good time with our camping day on Friday. We made our own snack-using the ingredients that our kids brought to make our own customized trail mix, made our own binoculars, and had so much fun going through our “camping obstacle course”. The kids navigated a crawl through tent, two “bear” caves, climbed up and slid down the mountain, jumped over and crossed a bridge to navigate the raging river and landed at home base (tent). We probably each ran through the course 20 times! We also spent some time in the garden-replanting our lettuce and carrot crops and harvesting carrots and beans. We had a great time tasting them and are anxiously waiting to taste some squash and cucumber-and later this summer corn and watermelon!
This week will also be filled with activity. On Monday we will have a visit from a local dentist and learn about healthy brushing habits and taking care of our teeth. We will also be having another water play day on Thursday. Remember to send your child in their suit and with sun screen! Thursday night is a fund-raising night at Chili’s in Manhattan Beach. Come out and have some fun and support our school at the same time. Hope to see you there!!!!
Have a great week,
Ms. Cami
