Exploring what’s in the ocean sparked lots of interest last week! Hope you heard all about it this past weekend.

Switching gears, this weeks theme is “Wish upon a star/Fairy tales”. If you have props to share, such as crowns, capes, prom dresses, bow ties, stuffed animals, puppets or anything related to this theme, we’d love to use them. Great job on keeping up with splish splash day!

From the Beach to Under the sea.. there’s a commotion in the ocean! We’ve had a great couple of weeks. We’ll continue from the land to the sea exploring marine life. Please notice all the arts and crafts in the classrooms and good job parents for keeping up with swim days!

Here are a few things to do @ home:

Edible Aquariums

Pour blue jello into clear plastic cups, refrigerate. Give each child an aquarium, along with gummy ocean animals(sharks, fish, etc;). Let each child put their gummy friends into the blue ocean with a spoon and eat!

Bubble Fish

Cut out large angelfish shapes from white paper. In small containers add bubble solution with a small bit of food coloring, red, yellow, green, and blue. Have the children blow these colored bubbles onto the fish. Makes beautiful tropical fish.

Moving out of the Rain forest and onto the Beach!! This weeks theme is Down by the Seashore. We’ll talk about what to do and see. We’ll investigate shells, seaweed, animals and the best part… play in sand! Talking about summer safety, is also on the agenda, (like protecting your skin from the sun). If you have books to share with this theme, please do.

Please remember to bring swim suits and swim diapers. Splish splash is EVERY week for all classes! Check the website for times & dates. Each class has a different schedule. Thank you for your participation. The kids LOVE LOVE this! Thanks.
