This newsletter provides information about upcoming events at a children's center in July 2016. It notes that the center will be closed on July 4th and provides the dates for other July events like swimming lessons and visits from the Metro Parks. It also lists the center's closed days for 2016 and reminds parents to send a towel for swimming. The newsletter discusses a garden project and road safety study that the children have been working on. It wishes everyone a happy summer.

1. Happy Fourth of July! It’s hard to believe that we are more than half way through 2016! We have some fun educational
visits this month from the Metro Parks. During this month we will be focusing on the children learning through different
hands-on activities around campus.
Have a great start to summer, Jeni Hoover

Healthy Summer Tid-bit:
If you could have dinner with anyone, living or dead,
who would you choose? Seriously, think about it.
Chances are, you’d select someone famous, like a
celebrity or an important historical figure who changed
the world. A bunch of parents were asked that
question, and responses included the likes of Justin
Bieber, Marilyn Monroe, and Nelson Mandela.
Then they were shown videos of their children
answering the very same question. Their responses
surprised everyone. (Click the underlined words to see

it will be a lot of fun.

From the Classroom:
Our summer has gotten off to a great start! Our garden is planted and growing. The children are taking great pride and
responsibility as they keep it watered and weeded. Hopefully with a little love it will be a great harvest. We have been
enjoying extra time with our grandfriends as we participated in Fun Fitness Week activities and attended the annual community
picnic. Our study on roads was a big hit as we learned about their characteristics: how they are made and how we can make
them. We also learned about traffic signs and how to be safe. Parker’s dad Dean was nice enough to arrange for two tow
trucks to be brought in so the children could see how they work. We also had a visit from the Oberlin Police Department. The
children had lots of fun as they took turns turning on the lights and siren on the police cruiser. To finish off our study, ODOT
made a visit and allowed the children to paint their hand prints on a snow plow. Make sure you look for it this winter!
We have lots of fun summer activities planned, many of which will find us out of the classroom. So please remember to be
here on time and to apply sunscreen. Have a great summer! Karen, Mary, Sara, Macie and Robin
