We have had so much fun

fixing “Breakfast on the

Go” and “Weekend Take

Aways” for the parents

and we will continue to do

this for you. We have

enough so you can take

some for you and a few for

friends and colleges at

work. So please take more

than you can handle and

place them in your staff

lounge or front office to

share with everyone!

Thank you Dads for

attending the “Floats for

Dads” on Friday June 16th.

The kids really enjoyed

having ice cream with their

Father’s. We are in the

process of preparing for

Back to School- as it is right

around the corner. If your

child is transitioning to a

new room you will be

receiving a letter from Mrs.

Charmagne by July 7th.

Our Back to School Meet

the Teacher night is

scheduled for 8/15/17 from

5:30- 7:00. This is a great

opportunity to meet your

child’s new teacher if you

have not already and learn

about the upcoming school

year.

to our family. Please help us

welcome the new students to

our family. They are…

While traveling with your preschooler, you’ve probably heard him say, “Are we there yet?” or “How much longer?” more times than you can count. Being stuck in the car or on a flight might not seem like the most stimulating activity, but it is possible to engage your child’s mind and creativity while on the road.

Below are some screen-free toys and games to keep your child happy and entertained, no matter how long the flight or car ride.

1. Travel binder Travel binders provide hours of fun, while keeping art materials contained and easily accessible. Fill a bind-er with various printables, such as educational activi-ty sheets, coloring pages, mazes or iSpy pages. Don’t forget to include a pouch with pencils, cray-ons, markers and stickers.

2. Cards Give your child a deck of cards and encourage him to make up his own game or sort the cards based on number or color. Kid-friendly games, such as Go Fish or Memory, are also fun and teach important skills like taking turns and concentration.

3. Vacation journal Create a vacation journal with your child and encourage him to draw pictures of things he sees from his car seat. Avoid giving direction, and allow his creativity and imagination to go wild. If age appropriate, ask him to write a few words to describe his anticipations or reflections from the trip. Invite him to share his journal entries with you.

4. Kid-friendly camera Give your child a kid-friendly camera and allow him to take photos of anything that interests him. He’ll love observing his surroundings through the camera lens, while also building self-expression and creative thinking skills. After your vacation, print the photos and add them to his vacation jour-nal.

5. Interactive books Interactive books are great during long trips, because they help stimulate your child’s sensory awareness and will keep him engaged as he actively participates in the story. Good books for in-fants and toddlers include Toot Toot Beep Beepby Emma Garcia and Where is Maisy? by Lucy Cousins. For older preschoolers, read Tap the Magic Tree by Christie Matheson or Can you Make a Scary Face by Jan Thomas.
