Goodbye For Now…..

June 24, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Dear Families,

This has for sure been a year like no other.  I have truly missed each of you and can’t wait to see you again.

For those children moving on to Kindergarten in September I wish you all the best.  I have loved journeying with you and watching you blossom.  For those children going to Kindergarten at Second Street I will see you in September!!! For the past two years I have had the privilege of supporting the Kindergarten teachers during the gradual entry process. It is definitely a highlight to help transition StrongStart graduates!!

I know many have questions about what September looks like for StrongStart. So at the end of August I encourage you to check out this link as is will have the most updated information for you.

Have a wonderful summer,

Painting with Objects at Home

June 15, 2020 / / 0 Comments

There are many objects in your home you can use to make prints!

All you need is washable paint, objects and paper!

Here are some objects I found in my home!

Toilet paper rolls are great because they give little hands a nice big handle and can be bent in a variety of ways to create different shapes.

I cut one of my tubes and put a plastic shopping bag in the other!

Look what happens when you use paint!

Making Giant Bubbles with Teacher Beth!!!

June 3, 2020 / / 0 Comments

 

Recipe for Giant Bubbles:   

  • 6 cups of warm water
  • 1/2 cup of blue Dawn original dishwashing detergent
  • 1 TBSP of corn syrup (or glycerin, if you happen to have some)

Mix all of the ingredients gently. Here is the secret: The bubble liquid gets better the longer it sits! It should marinate overnight at least.  This solution gets better with age and should last awhile! Tip: Just dip wands into the solution don’t stir or swish. It creates small bubbles and stops working. Enjoy!
