Summer Fun

 We used our small muscles and practiced writing with pencils. 

 We painted paper towel tubes and then used them to make rain sticks.

 We have taken advantage of this beautiful weather and have been eating outside on our picnic tables as often as we can.

 The toddlers played with a 'waterfall' that the preschoolers put up on the fence using plastic bottles. The toddlers used cups to pour water into the top and watch it flow down to the bottom.

The toddlers did some rubbings of natural objects while out side doing a group of activities on the 5 senses with Donna.
