Summer is here! Let the warm weather begin! We are excited to start the summer weather but at the same time it is bittersweet

because we are losing some children that have been with us for a long time. Our KELC teachers and I hope you can attend our

preschool graduation on Friday, June 12th

at 4pm.

Reminder: If you are changing your child’s schedule for the summer please put it in writing, including the times and days of the new

schedule and when it will take effect. Thank you.

Enjoy the sunshine this month! Jeni Hoover

Classroom! We are glad to have him and his

family here at Kendal Early Learning Center.

Kendal Intergenerational News:

The children have been enjoying participating in the

Fun and Fitness Week Events this past week. It

provides a great opportunity for us to cheer on our

residents. We also appreciate the encouragement

and support they give to us. We have also been

enjoying spending alternating Monday and

Thursday afternoons with them in the garden. Our

grand friends enjoy watching as we decorate the

sidewalks with chalk. We even had Janet join in as

we played a game of hop scotch.

June 2015 Newsletter

Healthy Tidbit for the Month:

Did you know?

The Lorain County Health Department says you should

walk at least 10,000 steps a day. I have found this harder to

do in the winter, but now that the weather is nice you can go

out of your way to get your steps outside.

Challenge:

Take a walk as a family somewhere.

From the Classroom:

We are finishing up our delicious Study on “Bread”. The children have learned all about how bread is made, what

types of bread there are, and who makes bread. We thoroughly enjoyed making and eating apple bread, biscuits,

corn bread, pizza and pretzels. The Kendal baker, Diana, come into the classroom to talk about how bread is made,

and Sam’s mom, Lea graciously, came into the classroom and made honey wheat bread with us. The children

LOVED it!

In May we started up our Veggie U program. This program hopes to encourage children to try and enjoy

many different vegetables by talking about the whole process of growing them. We talked about different types of

farms and the tools a farmer uses. We observed real worms, measuring and drawing them, and finally put them in

our own worm farm. Our next step will be to talk about composting. The favorite activity by far has been the veggie

tasting, with carrots being one of the top winners!

This month we are welcoming two new children into the classroom: Matthew and Nasir. They will both be

Giraffes. Starting this month we will be having fun with many different summer themes and plan on being outside

as much as possible. Please make sure your child has a summer change of clothes in the classroom.
