Happy Fourth of July! It’s hard to believe that we are more than half way through 2016! We have some fun educational

visits this month from the Metro Parks. During this month we will be focusing on the children learning through different

hands-on activities around campus.

Have a great start to summer, Jeni Hoover

Healthy Summer Tid-bit:

If you could have dinner with anyone, living or dead,

who would you choose? Seriously, think about it.

Chances are, you’d select someone famous, like a

celebrity or an important historical figure who changed

the world. A bunch of parents were asked that

question, and responses included the likes of Justin

Bieber, Marilyn Monroe, and Nelson Mandela.

Then they were shown videos of their children

answering the very same question. Their responses surprised everyone. (Click the underlined words to see link.)

Kendal Intergenerational News:

This month we are going to have an Intergen

activity in Langston on Thursday, July 14th

3:15pm. We will be reading Duck for President and

having a yummy treat. We hope you can join us as

it will be a lot of fun.

From the Classroom:

Our summer has gotten off to a great start! Our garden is planted and growing. The children are taking great pride and

responsibility as they keep it watered and weeded. Hopefully with a little love it will be a great harvest. We have been

enjoying extra time with our grandfriends as we participated in Fun Fitness Week activities and attended the annual community

picnic. Our study on roads was a big hit as we learned about their characteristics: how they are made and how we can make

them. We also learned about traffic signs and how to be safe. Parker’s dad Dean was nice enough to arrange for two tow

trucks to be brought in so the children could see how they work. We also had a visit from the Oberlin Police Department. The

children had lots of fun as they took turns turning on the lights and siren on the police cruiser. To finish off our study, ODOT

made a visit and allowed the children to paint their hand prints on a snow plow. Make sure you look for it this winter!

We have lots of fun summer activities planned, many of which will find us out of the classroom. So please remember to be

here on time and to apply sunscreen. Have a great summer! Karen, Mary, Sara, Macie and Robin
