Having a ball

Dancing Nancy shared her bouncy balls with us and we gave them a workout. Or did they give us a workout?  Whether we were sitting on a ball, balancing on a ball, or rolling our bodies over a ball, we all enjoyed ourselves. We even rolled on our backs over the ball.  It's really tricky to roll a ball around your back!  The muscles in our arms, legs, and bellies all worked hard to keep us moving this morning.  The core strength gained in some of these balance activities helps the children to be able to sit up straight during circle time.  We can't wait to see Dancing Nancy again!

Success!

Today we saw daring, strength, and some great big smiles as Molly experimented at the monkey bars.  One of the Unicorn children was demonstrating her technique for grasping the first rung, swinging her legs up and into the air, and bringing her feet back down on the platform.  Molly watched a few times and agreed to try it with a teacher as her "spotter".  Molly tried a number of times with just the tiniest bit of support from her teacher until...voila: Molly did it herself.  What a delight it was for Molly to see what she could do!  She surprised her Unicorn friend who was quite impressed to see what a determined three year old can do.

Look what I can do!!!

We are nurturing minds and bodies at Summer Fun camp!
