Dance

Today Miss Lindsey taught a dance at the preschool. This video was taken after they finished practicing. We just left the music on and let the kids do their thing.

Summer School Week 3: Summer

The last week of summer school was about, um, summer. Beach. Sea animals. Boats. Polar regions and polar animals (because summer isn't hot everywhere). A picnic with watermelon and a tug-of-war. Hand-made ice cream. Friendships strengthened. Good-byes.

Summer School Week 2: Circus

After a week off for holidays, we came back with a circus theme. Elephants. Making peanut butter. Juggling. Tightropes. Stilts. Acrobatics. Clown faces and hair. Music. Big top tent (okay, a parachute). A magician. Lions. Jumping through flaming hoops. Again, very few photos, but enough to get a feel for the week.

Summer School Week 1: All About Me

We kicked off summer school with a week called "All About Me!" Activities included finger painting, making hand-stamp placemats, play dough, relay races, dances, building tall structures, making photo jigsaw puzzles, identifying kitchen smells, and lots of outdoor fun. Unfortunately, we didn't take many pictures but here are a few.
