Seahorse Class Blog "Under the Sea Week"

Happy Monday Seahorse Families!

It was a great day to start off our "Under the Sea" theme for this week at summer camp! Our class started the day outside with water water table fun. We also had a GIANT bubbles station! Our art project today was painting sea stars to go with the "Under the Sea" theme.

Our class has really taken to the bubbles and today the children had a chance to sharpen their hand/eye coordination and blow some gigantic bubbles of their own. That hand/eye coordination practice will come in handy for September when they begin learning how to write their names!

Elijah and Hunter have become bubble masters since last weeks bubble fun. Last week the two boys developed the skills to 'share bubbles' with each other. One will blow a bubble, another child will catch the bubble on the little bubble wand and then transfer it over to the other child's wand. It was awesome to hear them using their words and saying things like, "Here Hunter you can have my bubble!"

Today Mikel joined the boys and this time the bubble wands were HUGE so it was a fun challenge to see them trying to coordinate the bubble sharing! Elijah should be proud of himself for using kind words because he kept encouraging his pals by saying,"That's a good one! Oh wow that's a good one too! Look at it!" We even had our Jellyfish friends join us for fun with bubbles today too!
Emilu and Kona were exceptional special helpers today! At snack time Emilu remembered to get our napkins for our table. Kona kindly offered Mikel some assistance with a tissue for his runny nose at naptime. Benson remembered to put his lunch box away after he threw away his trash. They demonstrated how great they are at being helpful in our school family!
