JOYFUL JUNE!!
Well, it is official. My new position for next year is at Lutheran Unity Schools West Campus. I will continue to teach my favorite people besides my own family, Prekindergarten! I am excited and blessed. I will post photos of the room as I get in and start to organize and set up. My program will run roughly the same as my previous school because I had such success with that. The children were engaged and constantly learning. Thanks for all your prayers.
Now what are you doing to keep cool and to keep your little one busy? Well, here are a few tips from myself and other super bloggers:
Salt Art...We all did it as a child. Here is the step by step process if you can't remember. This is great for block parties and even too hot or rainy days.

Sidewalk paint: grind up sidewalk chalk and add just a bit of water to create a paint like texture. The kids can use regular brushes and paint all over the outside. It appears very vibrant and yet it washes off with rain or just the good old hose. This was a big hit with my daughter.
PROCESS vs. PRODUCT. I say this over and over all year. Please check out this cool blog about that along with a painting project for you and your child.

Going to the zoo, the park or on a family vacation? Bring a notebook, pencil and crayons. Have your child "journal" each night after they have their experience. You can dictate if they can't "write" yet. But please give them this opportunity. It is a wonderful keepsake and super cool show and tell item. They can even add the occassional photo. I LOVE THIS!
Ok, I hope that is enough to hold you over until after The 4th of July. Until then, stay cool, dry or warm, whatever the case may be. Hug your children and remember to offer them lots of engaging and rich learning EXPERIENCES, not just workbooks and flashcards.
Many blessings,
Tanya
