Wow what fun we had during our fourth of July Celebrations! We did relay races that worked on team building as well as gross and fine motor skills. A huge issue lately has been waiting our turns and cheering each other on no matter if we are winning or losing. It is so hard for a young child to understand why they should be Happy when they are Losing?!? We had many conversations about being happy to play the game as well as cheering regardless of how well each child was doing! I am certain we will be working on this for quite some time!
Oh fireflies... It's that time of year! Get out and catch some!
Blind folded pictionary with American symbols? Oh it is much harder than it looks! But so silly and fun!
The Fourth Just isn't the fourth without a few fireworks. A Chinese lantern is a great way to incorporate other cultures into our own celebrations!
Last but not least this time of year is a great time to remind kids that there are many heroes that have sacrificed so much to give us the freedoms we enjoy each day. Kids do not necessarily know how lucky we are! Remind them of the things we enjoy each day because of those brave men and women.
Happy Independence Day!
