July splashed with sea life fun! We began the month celebrating America, the land we live in and the land we truly love. We made classroom flags, top hats, USA parfaits and we enjoyed both a picnic and red, white and blue parade as a whole center and celebrated our freedom and lovely land.
We also filled up our room with under the sea fun. We painted sea murals and made big fishes as a class. We continued our sea fun by making boats and having races with them in our sensory table. One of our favorite things this month was the bubbology worksheet. We learned all there was to know about bubbles and we even blew and made some big bubbles. To continue our bubble fun we painted bubbles with watercolor and toilet paper rolls. One of our themed days this month was Hawaiian Luau day! We brought in our favorite fruits to share and made fruit kabobs. We also had lots of fun science activities this month. We made Gak it was messy and slimy fun. We even got to take some home to play with. We also made mystery messages using lemon juice. Another fun day way crazy hair & wacky day! We all got our hair done and decorate guitars! We looked like rockstars!! We continued our fun by making clay creations-we made butterflies, snowmen, snakes, letters, etc. We created our own sculptures and let them dry for a day or two and then we painted designs on them. They are now displaying in our classroom.
We had a lot of fun fieldtrips this month too. We went to the pool and had a blast. It kept us cool the whole day! We also went to the Retzer Nature Center and made a fun craft and went on a hike to the pond where we caught frogs, tadpoles and water flies/bugs. We also went to go pick raspberries and they were yummy. We went to Pizza Hut and took a tour of the kitchen and made our own pizzas.
Some other theme days we had were as follows: Royal Rump and tea party. We decorated crowns and masks. Then we made muffins and enjoyed our lovely tea party. Pirate Day was a blast. We dressed up in our pirate gear and went on a treasure hunt. Game Day was also fun we brought in some of our favorite games in and played with our friends. Candyland day was fun too. We made candy houses and played candy land. Christmas in July was great fun. We played with cotton, clay and “snow” play. PJ day was also one of our favorites! We wore PJs and brought in our favorite books to share with the classroom. Water Works was fun as well. can’t wait to see what August fun will bring.
