Children will introduce themselves to one another. Discuss what their goals will be for the New Year; hard or easy classes, what type of grades are they expecting this year, A, B, C, D, F, O, S, N, what type of teacher they want for the school year, man or woman, what they hope to learn this school year and do they want to succeed in school ? Children will write or draw

the way.
CALVERT - This week we will be learning various Nursery Rhymes such as Hickory, Dickory Dock,

will create various art works using various objects related to the Rhymes. On Friday children will get to
mix ingredients and bake their own dinner rolls and will get to taste their baking with the help of
teachers and will collage their very own baker’s hat to wear prior to baking. We will be having water
day on Tuesday and Thursday this week. Additionally, the children will be using various sensory tubs

upcoming week the students in full day will be exploring during Safari week. We will have a special day
on Friday, when they will be able to dress-up as their favorite jungle animals (tigers, zebras, monkeys,

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.
Zumba classes range from classic Latin salsa to today’s modern pop music. We have large and smaller classes to fit your need as well as multiple classes throughout the week. It is a wonderful way to unwind and relax after a long day as well as dancing your way into a better lifestyle.

Bilingual story time, “Aventura’s de Lecture” takes place ever Wednesday afternoon at 4 pm and children are introduced to the world of literacy and culture, with arts and crafts that follow. All community teens (ages 10 and up) are invited to form part of Anime Club, every Tuesday at 4:00pm.

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. Last week, we talked about animals who live at the zoo. On Friday, the children made animals in a cage cooking project. The children drew lines on a baggie to make in seem like it was a zoo cage and then added animal cookies to make it seem like the animals were in a cage. This week we will be reading with the book "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.” Ms. Marisa will read the book in English
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.
