What a wonderful summer we all spent together this year! This summer was filled with sun, smiles, and lots of splashing around. July brought many fun and exciting activities to our school. To kick things off in the summer we bubble and splash days each week. You can see the children enjoying our water days in the blog photos and our Instagram! In July, we had a special guest come to visit our school from Professor Egghead. Professor Katie lead several experiments with dry ice and taught us about how different chemicals react with one another. She showed us the sound that dry ice makes when it touches metal, how temperature and chemicals can affect color, and much more! We celebrated the Fourth of July at school by learning about our country for our Party In The USA theme. The following week, we learned all about the ocean and the amazing creatures that live within it. Some of our students created sensory bottles to represent the ocean. We talked about the different planets in our solar system and created many pieces of outer space art. The last week of July, we learned about volcanoes and created our using construction paper and tissue paper.

In August, we had a special guest from the critter squad. Ms. Riley came to our school and introduced us to her many different animals. We met a frog, a snake, a large lizard, a bunny, a bird, and a sugar glider! Ms. Riley taught us about where they live and what they eat. In August, we enjoyed many art projects and learned how to make slime. The students loved mixing the slime and adding different colors to see how it turns out. We learned about farms and the different animals that may live there. The last week of August, we had out spirit week. On Monday, we shared our cultures with our classmates and teachers. On Tuesday, we tie-dyed some t-shirts and experimented with colors and shapes. Wednesday, we wore our craziest outfits and on Thursday we dressed up as what we want to be when we grow up. Lastly, on Friday we had beach day and enjoyed a big end of summer foam party. Our roaring foam party was such a great way to wrap up our summer program.

September is here and we are so excited to start the school year! We will be learning All About Me! Students will be transitioning into the next classroom, and we will be meeting new friends as well. September will be a month to bond with our teachers and new friends. Students will create an ‘all about me’ book for our friends and teachers to get to know us even better. In September, we are also introducing our Spanish inspired classroom. Some of our Primary students will be learning Montessori work in a Spanish class setting. We are so excited for this new program and look forward to the progress our students make. As the new school year starts, we will be starting new soccer and dance sessions, so please sign up if you would like your child to enjoy our extracurriculars.
