Week 5 – Healthy and Happy!

This week our theme is Health. We covered a wide variety of health topics including food choices, taking care of ourselves, fire safety, playground safety and more!

[icon name=”sun-o” class=”fa-spin” unprefixed_class=””] The red group learned about brushing teeth (and actually got to do some brushing of big paper teeth), created plates of their favorite foods, and learned about fire safety (stop, drop, and roll)!

[icon name=”sun-o” class=”fa-spin”The orange group talked about feelings with a mood chart, brushed paper teeth with shaving cream, practiced for some of tomorrow’s Olympic events, and talked about safety.

The fun continues tomorrow with Olympic events and more! On Thursday, we head to Southwick’s Zoo to learn about the health and safety of the animals. Please remember to send in permission slips.

The Show Must Go On!

Yesterday, we headed off to Walpole Children’s Theater to see a performance of Pinocchio! The show was wonderful and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Whether it was seeing Pinocchio learning to walk without strings, laughing with the silly clown honking its horn, or helping Geppetto to have his wishes come true, the story was entertaining for all ages and we giggled, cheered, and had lots and lots of fun!

Next week, our theme is Health Week and our field trip will be to Southwick’s Zoo (permission slip below). We look forward to seeing everyone next week! Hard to believe next week will be week 5!

2017 Talent Show – Singing, Dancing, Magic and More!

The many talents of The Sunshine Group were on display today in our annual talent show. We had singers, musicians, dancers, gymnasts, magicians, artists, and more! It was so wonderful to see the wide variety of talents that we have here and a special thanks to our incredible staff who helped to make it happen. Also, thank you to the wonderful audience members that came to see the performances and support our many talents.
