One nice thing about hot days like we've had this week is the air condition. We also have been spending a bit more time outdoors. Today the children listened to a story outside, sang songs about America and played a village game. Over the past three weeks, we have spent a lot of time learning how to jump rope. Some of the kids like when we sing the Teddy Bear song and Cinderella Dressed in Yellow. We have transplanted almost all the vegetables into the garden beds. This was very much discovery gardening. We had trays that had a handful of seeds planted together and other trays with no seeds. LOL All was well though. We have pole beans growing, pepper plants with blooms and so much more. All the kids help with transplanting and watering.
These past three summer camp weeks have been quite fun. The first week we built campfires and ate smores. The second week we learned about countries from around the world. We made crafts and ate foods to learn about the countries. This week we are focusing on the United States. We sang A-M-E-R-I-C-A and This Land is Your Land. Next week, the theme is fairy tales from around the world. If you have a Cinderella story from your country please feel free to share it with us. We will build castles from tubes and learn how to make different kinds of homes.
It is about time to plan another field trip. I would like to plan a trip to Jetty Island. A few parents like Friday, however, Tuesdays or Thursdays work well too.

I'll make a reservation for the end of July and keep you all posted.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers regarding my little nephew. He is recovering well and was released from the hospital yesterday! It was a stressful three weeks and luckily he survived such a horrible illness. Have a lovely week:)
