Our first real rainy day of the summer was a great success!  We always have a plan in place in case of weather like this and we worked hard to make the day as normal as possible. Arts and crafts shifted completely under the tent and we played a movie inside when groups wanted a little break from the weather. But other than that, the day happened as it typically would!

This week’s theme is ANIMALS and we have many fun activities planned to learn about animals.  Groups were working on making bird feeders, animal masks (I know I saw a few bears walking around!), and mini aquariums for our fish!

This Thursday’s field trip is to the New England Aquarium! Please bring in the permission slip:

What fun we had at the Walpole Children’s Theatre seeing Dorothy in Wonderland!  The show was colorful, funny, and exciting!  The children laughed and clapped and seemed to really enjoy the experience of being in the audience for live theater.  Some children even started writing their own plays on the bus ride home.  It was a very special way to end our Week of Fame!

Next week our theme shifts to ANIMALS.  Our field trip will be to the New England Aquarium and the permission slip should be posted soon.

The Sunshine Group was filled with shining stars today! From the green and yellow group members who helped with stage design and set up, to the songs and dances and talents galore, the day was a huge success! A few of the group acts are shown below. More talent show pictures will be included in the end of the summer DVD!

Please remember to wear orange shirt and sneakers tomorrow for the trip to the theater. We will return by 12:30 and the bus routes will start quickly after that.
