Main Y Calvert - To continue our summer themed activities this upcoming week we will

be focusing on the Circus. The children will be learning about the Circus though

book viewing, and craft making. To begin the week the children will be finger

painting what they imagine the Circus is like. Another, activity our children will be

working on is a ring tossing game; this activity will be a group activity because we will be playing it

once everyone makes their own ring to toss out of a paper plate and other mediums of their choice.

Children will also have the option of making yummy pretend cotton candy and popcorn too. The

children will definitely have fun learning about the colorful and fun that goes on at the Circus; through

painting, cotton balls, markers, puffy paint, pomp poems and lots of colorful stickers and foam

shapes. Children will be exposed to the kinds of animals and games that go on at the circus through

music, puzzles, and story time during our circle time. To conclude our week we will be painting a

circus tent that will be part of our bulletin board to put on display all of the week’s work. Thank you

Home Depot for supporting the YMCA. Calvert and the YMCA are so excited to begin enjoying the

remodel soccer field. Looking forward to an amazing week with the children and families.

teddy bear picnic on Friday, so the children can share their lunch with their teddy bears. We cannot

This week, the children and staff will discuss this topic to help each other and learn how to

prevent bullying and how not to be involved and keep away from children that harm others. We will be talking all week about how important is to follow parents positive guidance and learn

how to respect friends and adults, take responsibility to act safely, develop positive peer relationships, intervene to stop unsafe behavior and learn personal safety skills. The children will make a chart to draw and outline a full body person and write unkind, rude, and

disrespectful statements, then we will discuss the meaning of the drawing to identify positive or negative comments ,then after the children realize and comprehend the scenario, they will

change negative comments to a positive comments. Also they will make NO Bullying signs, and

Friday we will have share day.
