Today, we took our last trip of the summer to the pool. It was a beautiful day for swimming and there were lots of smiles and laughter in the water. It was a great way to end our time at the pool.
Next week’s theme is Occupations. The children started sharing the jobs they would like to have this morning. Many of them will be sharing what they know about these jobs next week at a job fair!
At Regal Cinema, they turn the lights up and the sound down so it is not as dark or as loud as the movies tend to be. It has been a wonderful experience for children new to going to the movies.
Our annual carnival will be next Friday. Any parents who are willing to volunteer to help with the carnival, please contact Barbara at (508) 320-8518 or thesunshinegrp@gmail.com

Today, everyone had a great time seeing the animals at the zoo and learning all about them. There were lots of zookeepers out and about taking care of the animals, so the children had the chance to see some of the care that is done to keep the animals happy, healthy, and clean. We saw cheetahs, giraffes, camels, birds, goats, monkeys and more!
Tomorrow, we head to the pool for our last day of swimming. Please send children in their swim gear if possible.

Today, we continued our discussion and activities about healthy self (moods, stress relief, etc), healthy food (choices, food groups, food pyramid), and safety (fire, playground, parking lot, heat, and more).

They also did a huge group session of yoga while talking about healthy bodies and the importance of drinking water.

Health week continues tomorrow at the zoo learning about the health, care and safety of animals. Please remember camp shirts, sneakers, and snack. Also, send in permission slips if you have not yet.
