This week we had a beach theme.  The kids participated in many beach theme activities.  During circle time each child passed a beach ball around the circle and was able to tell the group what they would do at the beach.  We read books on beaches, fish, underwater adventures, and pirates.  During rest time the children used beach towels and pretended to be sunbathing at the beach.  The children used the art center to draw, color, and paint pictures of beaches, shovels, pails, fish and much more.  For snack we had beach theme snacks such as gold fish crackers, seaweed salad, fish shaped sandwiches and much more.  The children used moon sand in the sensory center and pretended to be at the beach.  For our field trip this week we took a trip to the beach!  Check back next week to see what we have done.  As always, check the PARENTS PAGE and NEWSLETTER PAGE for upcoming themes.
