Sunshine Summer: Week 1
We went "camping" this week during Sunshine Summer! (And we didn't even leave the preschool!)

End-of-the-Year Picnic
We had a wonderful time at our end-of-the-year picnic at Tybee Island's Memorial Park. Thank you to everyone who helped make it so much fun--and to all of the families who came out to celebrate the end of our 2010-2011 school year.

Week of May 9th
We've had a lot of fun things going on this week as we prepare to wrap up the 2010-2011 school year.
 |
| Enjoying nacho chips and salsa... |
 |
| ...along with taquitos in Mrs. Whitaker's room |
 |
| Making tie-dye t-shirts with Mrs. Reese |
 |
| Picking strawberries at Ottawa Farms... |
 |
| ...then enjoying a snack afterward |
Friday, May 6
After lots of practice, our Mother's Day Program was finally here. We shared our songs and the gifts we'd made and then, just as it started to rain, we settled down to enjoy brunch with our moms. We had to eat in our classrooms instead of the Memorial Garden, but we had a lot of fun anyway!
Thank you to everyone who donated to our Moms Helping Moms project. We collected several boxloads of items for Safe Shelter.

Tuesday, May 17
Today is the graduation day for our 4s and the last regular day of the 2010-2011 school year. Tomorrow we meet at Tybee's Memorial Park at 9:30 for our end-of-the-year picnic. Pack your drinks, snacks, and side dishes to go along with the grilled hotdogs that the school will provide. It looks as if the weather will be perfect for a morning of fun and fellowship.

Getting Ready For Mother's Day

Miss Caitlin and Kindermusik
Miss Caitlin, our wonderful music teacher, also works with Kindermusik during the summer. If you're interested in having your children participate, here's a line-up of the summer programs being offered.
Dear Families of Children Ages 0-7,
Musical Greetings! It's almost time to embark on our Summer 2011 Kindermusik 'Adventures'! We have many options in store for you, and hope that you and your child will take advantage of them to beat the heat with some COOL indoor musical learning together!!
Some of our Summer 2011 highlights:
** We will be offering two 5-week sessions, to accommodate your Summer plans!
** We will be offering afternoon classes, as well as morning and weekends!
**We will be offering classes for the older age groups (ages 3-5, and 5-7).
** We will be offering Family Time classes (for siblings combined, ages 0-7!). And...just wait until you see our discount policy for "Family Time"! 1st child pays...all subsequent children are FREE...that's right....FREE!!
**We will be offering a Summer-long musical sign language class, for hearing babies, ages 6-36 months.
**Curricula for Summer Session A is DIFFERENT than for Summer Session B, so you can sign up for both sessions if you wish, and enjoy 10 weeks of non-stop Summer Kindermusik!
**We are offering classes in Southside Savannah, Wilmington Island AND Richmond Hill - choose the location that best suits you!
So....onto the details!
For Babies ages newborn to 20 months, we will be offering "Busy Days" and "Peek A Boo, I Love You!". With a little more "Bach" in your Twinkle Twinkle repertoire, you'll love how each lesson features fun activities and songs you can enjoy in all the places you go and the things you do together. Be inspired as you discover new ways music can help your busy days with your child be easier, happier days! In "Peek A Boo, I Love You!", more than just a curious story, Mother Goose games like peek-a-boo help babies understand language. In this special class, uncover more ways to say "I love you" using American Sign Language, soap bubbles, and parent-baby dances. Plus, parents can meet with other newborns and families in the community and learn how music improves the child development process. For ages newborn - 20 months.
Explore creatures all summer long, with "Creatures at the Ocean" and then "Creatures in my Backyard". In "Creatures at the Ocean", sing sailor songs and make the ocean count. "Five little seashells lying on the shore: Swish! Went the waves and then there were four." In "Creatures in My Backyard", give your children something to sing about in their own backyards. Be the flower from the "seed's" perspective. Run and jump in rain puddles made from hula hoops. Shoo real flies and sing "Shoo Fly." For ages 1.5-3.5 and their parents.
In "On the Road", you will re-live your childhood, with your child. Every song is likely to revive a memory from your summers? past. Play ?Eye Spy? and find shapes in the clouds to pass the time. Take imaginary trips in a bus named ?Van Go? to fun-filled vacation destinations such as the carnival, a summer cottage, and the beach. In "Confetti Days", throw a new party every day. Ride a carousel inside the classroom. Play a balancing game and walk on the web of ropes. Do a musical move and freeze. Learn colors and sing the Spanish song "De Colures," "Pop, Goes the Weasel," and "Looby Loo." For ages 3-5 and their parents.
Our theme is called "Tell Me A Tale". Through storytelling, your children will develop an early awareness of rhythm, movement, singing, and drama. Each lesson features a new tale from around the world, explored through multi-instrument and multi-cultural elements. All told, it?s an around-the-imagination adventure of the greatest stories from Europe, Malaysia, South Africa, and more. For ages 5-7.
Experience the joy of the One-Room Schoolhouse approach as "Here, There and Everywhere" invites ALL the members of a family to come enjoy a musical adventure together! This class is open to siblings of ages 0-7, all together. Pay only for the first child...all the siblings are FREE - that's right...FREE!! Can't beat that, can you?
We will be offering one 10-week session of Sign and Sing, Units A and B, for hearing babies, ages 6-36 months. Learn over 150 ASL signs to use with your baby to eliminate communication frustrations for both baby AND you! Not only will you learn in a fun, musical atmosphere, but you will also be taught how to interpret YOUR baby's version of the signs, how to engage your child to WANT to sign, and how to use music and props as "attention - getters" to GET your baby to sign! A wonderful opportunity for hearing babies ages 6-36 months.
All class sizes are limited, so hurry and sign up today! Session A will run from the end of May through the end of June, and Session B will run from mid July through early August. Each session lasts 5 weeks and costs include tuition PLUS all home materials! To sign up, please visit our NEW website: www.88keysga.com, and scroll down to the BOTTOM of the home page.
