What are we learning?

Dear Dinosaurs Parents,

We are getting down to the last few weeks of Summer Camp! This week we will learn to be Little Athletes. We will continue creating safe learning environments that offer the children the opportunity to explore sports. We have scheduled exciting learning activities that will allow us to continue strengthening motor, cognitive-sensory and language skills. One of them is the Olympics Parade at Sff! Children should wear sports clothes for the parade. They will also participate in olympic competitions and we will read books about sports and The Olympics.

Thank you once again for all your support and for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life.

Materials for Special Projects/Activities

Have your child wear swimsuit, splashers or swim diapers and water shoes for Splash Day. Bring a towel and a plastic bag for wet items. Pack all these items in a tote bag for your child. We recommend to label the bag, swimsuit, towel and shoes with your child’s name.

Have your child wear a t-shirt of their favorite sports team on Monday.

Have your child wear the tie dye  t-shirt we made for the activity on Thursday.

Friendly Reminders

• Check your child’s cubby every Friday and take home your child’s blanket for laundry. Make sure to bring it back on Monday.
• Make sure to bring extra sets of clothing appropriate to weather.
• Sunscreen is important to protect your child because he/she is very susceptible to sunburn. Yet applying sunscreen to your child requires planning. If sunscreen must be applied to your child, make sure to fill out an administration or authorization form specifying when sunscreen should be applied and be sure to supply the sunscreen and label the sunscreen bottle with your child's name.
• Remove all your child projects completed from the cubby.

Holidays & Upcoming Events

• Splash Days on Mondays and Thursdays.
• Olympic Games at Sff! On Thursday.
