Week of 8/4 - 8/8 Marine Adventures 🪼🐳
Hello ECE Families,
What an incredible summer its been! We've had such a wonderful camp season filled with learning, laughter and lots of fun. Over the past 8 weeks, the children have explored exciting themes, created amazing projects and participated in interactive visits from special guests.
This week, we wrapped up with some under the sea magic, when Captain Carl stopped by with his ocean animal friends. We met some crabs, sea snails, sea urchins, a giant lobster, and a baby shark named Fin! In addition to meeting and holding the sea life, Captain Carl shared some interesting facts about each one. Did you know that if a crab loses its claw, it can grow back? It's called regeneration. How cool is that?
Miss Melo stopped by for one last camp musical singalong. We sang ocean themed songs like "Under the Sea", "Baby Shark", and "Down by the Bay' just to name a few. The campers loved leaping like dolphins, crawling like sea turtles, and wiggling like octopi as Melo played songs on her guitar.
Each class celebrated the last day of camp in their own way. Some had ice cream parties, some had bubble parties, and some got creative with some face paint! However your camper spent their last day of camp, it was definitely special and the perfect way to close out an amazing summer. Check it0111 all out on your classrooms Google Photo Album before they are taken down.

A FEW THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:
ALWAYS use the blue crosswalk in the parking lot when crossing and avoid walking behind cars (please review the Parking Lot Safety Reminder below and on the Playground App)
Campers should come ready for the day with sunscreen applied before. This should not be happening in the classroom at drop off. Teachers will reapply throughout the day
PLEASE HELP OUR SECURITY AND STAFF WITH SAFETY IN THE PARKING LOT
