YMCA Birthdays

THEME: INDEPENDENCE DAY

Fourth of July has been a Federal Holiday in the United States since 1941, but the tradition of Independence Day celebration goes back to the 18th century and the

American Revolution.

This week we will research some facts about 4th of July that children may not know, so will be

Very interesting to learn about this important event that all Americans celebrate every year.

We will be discussing different topics, such, history, fireworks, family, safety, and all related with this day. Beside all the information that we are sharing we also are going to do some activities to celebrate Independence Day ,we will make a star man, red and white plate hat, red blue white lantern, and red white blue fire cracker . Thursday we will make blue lemonade.

Merrill We have had a lot of fun this week. This will be our last full week of school. We had a Hat Day on Monday. The children wore their favorite hat. Tuesday was interesting to see the children wear their favorite Disney characters. Wednesday was Get Wet Day. If you passed by Merrill on that day you would have seen teachers and children teachers getting wet outside. I am not sure who had more fun the children or the teachers! Thursday we will have dress up as a Super Hero or a Princess. I am sure there will lots of Spider mans, Bat mans and other super heroes roaming around Merrill trying to save all of the Princesses in distress. Friday will be Pajama Day and the children will be watching Toy Story I. Monday we are hoping for nice weather because we will be having as picnic outside. Graduation is Tuesday at New Beginnings Church @ 12:30.

Al of the teachers at Merrill are sorry to see the school year end. We hope everyone has a good summer.
