When Bugs Attack!

We're learning all about creepy, crawly bugs for our second week of Summer Fun Club! We started out the week with a big thunderstorm on Monday morning. The sky darkened quickly as we came in from the playground, which led to great conversations about weather.

 

The afternoon cleared up beautifully, so the teachers set up sprinklers on the lawn for an impromptu splash day! 
 
 


 Afterwards, everyone had an ice cream or popsicle leftover from our first Ice Cream Friday! A big thank you to Nathan P's mom for bringing in the ice cream!!





On Tuesday, we created "bugs on a leash." The kids made their own bugs (imaginary or true-to-life), then brought them to a teacher to put their "leash" of yarn on their new pet bug!

 Zoe and Ashley B turned Chris into their life-size bug on a leash!
  
Halle brought in a green butterfly she caught at home to show the rest of the group! She created a habitat for it in a jar and poked holes in the top. Kids and teachers alike were curious to see her usual butterfly.
