Welcome Campers

Welcome campers and Happy Fourth of July to everyone!! The start of camp means summer is in full swing at The Goddard School.

We'll explore the world of bugs with Eric Carle stories, the world of colors with stories by Ezra Jack Keats, Wild Animals with Maurice Sendak and the adventurous world of the imagination with Dr. Seuss! They'll be lots of special guests coming in to entertain us, not to mention our special water fun days. Please refer to the camp calendar to keep up with all the fun...we don't anyone to miss out on anything! That's all the news for now...have a safe and wonderful summer!

Terrific Turtles

The month of June was exciting and fun for our Terrific Turtles. We learned all about summer fun. Brent and Ava found sea shells hiding in our room while Rocco and Ashley tried a life jacket on for size. Anthony and Sophia were so silly walking around in flippers! Sean, Paul and Charlie loved eating s'mores when we learned about camping. We welcomed Mario into our room this month. We will be sad to say good-bye to our friends moving up to the Toddler room, we will miss you! We have a busy July coming up. We are excited to get to know our new friends and share the joy of learning about authors and books with them. Happy 4th of July.

Wonderful Whales

June was a month of nice warm weather. The children have been transitioning to their new classes throughout the month. They really enjoyed learning about Summer safety, the ocean, lakes and camping. The Toddlers have come a long way and have learned so much. Their verbal skills have improved a lot. We would like to say congratulations to Madison, Aaron, and Harrison who are moving on to the Jolly Jellyfish. Our friends Alex, Alexa, Abby Y., Abby B., Marli and Kayla who are moving up to the Get Set class. We will miss you! We would like to to take this time to welcome all our new friends to our class: Charlie, Sean, Ava, Brent, Rocco, Sophia, Jonathan, Anthony and Paul. Our themes for July are Welcome Campers, Let's Go Buggy, Colors and Wild Animals. The children can't wait to learn about these. For The Health and Safety of our class remember to label everything with first and last name. Please remember your child's sun screen and water bottle.

Thank You,

Jolly Jellyfish

The month of June went by so fast for the Jolly Jellyfish! We had so much fun exploring all of our monthly themes which included: "Summer Safety", "Ocean Adventures", "Lovely Lakes" and "Gone Camping". We enjoyed creating our own oceans and lakes using blue food coloring and water. We learned all about staying safe in the summer! We liked making hand prints at for our father's on Father's Day! We can't wait to see what July has in store for us! We would like to like to wish a happy and safe summer to our friends who are leaving for the summer. We would also like to welcome our friends that will be joining us in the Jolly Jellyfish. We welcome Harrison, Aaron and Madison to our class!

Thank You!

Fantastic Fish

As this school year draws to a close, we would like to thank all of our families for their support over the school year. A special "thank you" to parents who made holiday and birthday celebrations so special for the children. Thank you to those who donated books to the class library and to those who came to read to us. We have had a wonderful year, full of learning new things, mastering new skills and growing more and more each day. We are excited to see all the wonderful accomplishments. We would like to welcome all the campers in our Summer program. We have lots of exciting activities planned. This month we will visit with some wonderful authors as we Go Buggy with Eric Carle, meet Wild Animals with Maurice Sendak, explore Colors with Ezra Jack Keats and begin to explore Imagination with Dr. Seuss. We're going to have a fantastic summer!

Super Seals

June was a splash in the Super Seals classroom. The children showed a great interest in all of our weekly themes this month. They learned a great deal about water safety and they had a blast during our life jacket relay race. It was so exciting to watch the children fish in our water table and stuff their backpacks for a pretend camping trip. We are looking forward to beginning our summer program. This summer our theme will be "Leap Into Literature" each week we will high light an author and his/her literature. Projects and activities will coincide with the books that we will be reading. It is going to be a fun-filled month. Keep your eyes and ears open for special visitors and events.

Marvelous Manatee

It's summer and the Manatees couldn't be any more excited! There are so many fun camp activities planned, we can't wait! After we have fun getting to know to know each other. We are going to get "buggy" and explore colors at Catus Island Park. Then we are going to get really wild when the Lizard Guys come to visit our camp and we will be going bowling...it all is sure to be a strike! We waited all year for Sprinkler Days and now we finally get to get cool and splash around in the sun! Please remember to bring a water bottle everyday and apply sun screen before arriving at camp. So, without further ado...let's blast off into Summer and have fun in the sun!

Sincerely,
Miss Stacey and Miss Debbie

Sparkling Seahorses

The end of our school year has come to a close. It has been a fabulous year for the Seahorses. Throughout the month of June we enjoyed many water activities and science experiments revolving around our theme "Water, Water Everywhere". Summer camp is here and we will be "Leaping into Literature". We will be learning about many famous authors and the creative and exciting stories they have written. We will also be enjoying all the summer fun activities: Field trips, water slides, sprinkler days and pony rides! It's going to be an awesome summer! Our Seahorses have grown and blossomed socially and academically. We are so proud of them. They did a fantastic job performing for their graduation ceremony. We want to wish all of our Seahorses a great year in Kindergarten. Congratulations! It always feels sad to say good-bye but the future holds so many new and exciting experiences. It is only the ending of the beginning. We hope everyone has a safe and wonderful summer!
