Citrus Circle This week we explored the solar system. We researched each planet. We checked the size of each planet compared to the sun, what color each planet looks like and what the order the planets are to the sun. After the children had all their information on the planet they picked, the children made their paper mache’ planets out of newspaper and glue. Then they painted their planet. They

turned out good and the children had a lot of fun doing it. If you come by Citrus Circle you will see our display of the planets across the ceiling and in the order the planets are closet to the sun. Next week the children start school on August 11th. We will be providing help

with their homework after school from 3-6pm. On Friday we will have special

project since there is no homework on Fridays.

Greetings from City Park. This week we say goodbye to our friends going to Kin-dergarten. We will miss them but we know they will have lots of fun at their new schools.

Harada

YMCA Birthdays

THERE: GOOD MANNERS This week at Harada staff will discuss with the children how important is to have and use good manners at all the time no matter where you are and where you go. We will emphasize specifically the best way, so the children can

understand and get use to use good manners when interacting with other peers and adults. They will learn how to develop social skills and show correct behavior at home and in public. We will review the YMCA

rules and remind the children how to behave when they eat and drink. We will talk and teach them how to set up a table how to say please when they ask for something and say thank you!! After, we will talk about, polite and respectful words so the children can learn how to get along better and respect each other as individuals.
