September KELC Update:

Starting September 1st some changes

taking place at KELC:

• We will now be open till 6 pm

• Our AM Learning program is

Monday thru Thursday

Intergenerational News:

During the summer we have been meeting

informally with our resident friends Friday

afternoons in the garden. The children have

enjoyed being outside when the weather has

allowed with the residents.

Our application to receive

certification from Nature

Explore to certify our play

yard as an outdoor

classroom has been sent and

we are waiting to hear if our

application was approved.

We have added some fun

things so stop out and see

them when you pick up your

child.

Giraffe Whistles:

Everyone seems to be adjusting nicely to the merging of the two

classrooms into one. The extra room is providing for much nicer

and bigger interest areas. We have also added a Safe Place to our

classroom to be used when a child just feels the need to be alone.

One recommendation to make the Safe Place feel more secure is to

add family photos. So, if you can please send one in it will be

added.

Our trip to the Great Lakes Science Center was enjoyed by all. It

was a great learning experience since there were so many hands on

activities. One of the exhibits focused on outer space which is

always fascinating to preschoolers.

The month of August is always a little sad in the Preschool

classroom as it is the time to say Goodbye. To those going off to

Kindergarten I want to thank you for letting us be such an

important part of your child’s lives. We will miss you and we wish

you the best.

July certainly flew by! The children were so excited

to do many different science experiments. I think we

might have a few future scientists on our hand! ☺ The

Great Lakes Science Center visit was a big hit! The

children loved exploring all the exhibits. They even loved

going to look at the boats on the lake and enjoying cookies

with the seagulls.

In August we are continuing our study on the

ocean. The children have asked to learn about more sea

animals so we are extending our study. They have learned

all about sharks, whales, and dolphins so now we are going

to explore jellyfish, starfish, and seahorses.

Have a great month!

Sara, Robin, and Abbey
