KINDERGARTEN – MS. EDINA’S CLASS

Back to School

Summer Recap:  The weather was finally perfect to allow the children to spend more time outdoors. There was a lot of new activities on the playground to allow the children to have some social distanced fun! They also enjoyed nature walks and outdoor scavenger hunts. Along with the great weather, the summer allowed more room for fun activities! The end of June brought the start of our summer program, each week themed with something new for the kids to enjoy. The had themes from camping, to under the sea and even the Olympics. The weeks were filled with activities, from cooking lessons, to science experiments, and fun virtual field trips! The first week of July the children got to enjoy a virtual fieldtrip where they watched the Disneyland firework show, they then ended the week with a fun social distance picnic!

We ended the summer learning all about the Olympics! The children watched different sporting events, and even had their own competitions. August 12th started the brand new school year! We talked all about staying clean and healthy, practicing washing our hands, and social distancing, even learned some different ways to say hello to new friends while keeping a safe distance. We also discussed all about California, and how to care for plants!
