Everyone had a great time at the movie theater today. Cars 3 was an entertaining movie and the sound and lights were just right. The movie ended with a round of applause in the theater!
It is unbelievable to think that tomorrow is our last day of the Sunshine Group’s 2017 Summer Session. These six weeks have been incredible and seem to have gone by so fast. We will end tomorrow with our Annual Carnival which will include bouncy houses, dunk tank, cotton candy, ice cream from TC Scoops, laughs, smiles, and so much more!
Parents and families are welcome to join us for this wonderful conclusion to another amazing summer!
Today, our Occupation Week continued with some very exciting events and activities with the highlight of the day being a trip through Sunshine City! Before going to the city, however:
[icon name=”sun-o” class=”fa-spin” unprefixed_class=””] The red group was busy making fire hats, digging for jewels in the sand table and learning about different occupations at the job fair.
[icon name=”sun-o” class=”fa-spin” unprefixed_class=””] The orange group was busy decorating t-shirts to look like uniforms, building with legos just like construction workers and architects, and attending the job fair.
[icon name=”sun-o” class=”fa-spin” unprefixed_class=””] The yellow group played some games on the field and then spent time prepping for the job fair where they taught other groups about science, gymnastics/cheer, art, acting, football, writing and more!

Sunshine City was the highlight of the day! We had a fully functional bank, a police station, an auto mechanic, a library, a “bling” store, a clothing store, a doctor’s office, and a tattoo parlor.
Important for Tomorrow
1. Field Trip Tomorrow: We return at 12pm. Please remember blue sunshine shirts, sneakers, and snack.

Once you arrive in Sunshine City, it is tough to resist all the exciting things it has to offer.Our city even had its own site to dig for fossils and gems!The clothing store had many decadent choices to try on and buy!Prices were high but that didn’t stop anyone: the temporary tattoos were a huge hit!We had a well-run bank where everyone got their money to pay for their purchases at the different shops!
It is hard to believe that today was the first day of our last week! It has been an amazing summer but it has gone by so quickly.
Yesterday began a week about occupations and the futures look bright! At the end of our day, we had a special visit from the Medway Fire Department and the Medway Police Department! Firefighters Chris, Craig and Ramsey talked about fire safety and how the firefighters do their job (including all the gear they need to wear) and then we had the chance to see the fire truck and ambulance up close and personal. Officer Tony then talked about what police officers do and how they help to protect us. When he was finished, we had the opportunity to see his rolling office (his police car) where he has a computer and other equipment so he can work on the go!
Today, the excitement continues with a job fair and our own small businesses up and running with the help of the green group and yellow group.
Also, any parents who are able to help with the carnival on Friday morning, please contact Barbara. Families looking to join us for the carnival should plan to be here any time between 10am and 12pm.
Before our special visitors came yesterday, groups were busy with lots of fun activities: [icon name=”sun-o” class=”fa-spin” unprefixed_class=””] The red group drew themselves as what they wanted to be when they grow up. Then they became archaeologists and dug for dinosaurs in the sand table. Unfortunately, the group leader Emily went missing and they had to use their detective skills to find clues around camp to locate her.
[icon name=”sun-o” class=”fa-spin” unprefixed_class=””] The orange group made ID cards for what they want to be when they grow up. They drew pictures of themselves at their future jobs. At the basketball court, they traced themselves with chalk and filled in their bodies with what they will wear when they are grown up and working.
[icon name=”sun-o” class=”fa-spin” unprefixed_class=””] The yellow group played a firefighter sponge relay, practicing teamwork skills and then played a cops and robbers version of tag. Some worked on their plans for the job fair tomorrow while others created their plans for the future in picture form.
[icon name=”sun-o” class=”fa-spin” unprefixed_class=””] The green group was busy all morning planning and preparing for today’s job fair and town setting activities. They worked hard creating backdrops for their businesses, money for sales, and products to sell.
