If you have a great imagination then you would have taken a "Magic Carpet Ride" with the Students at Rolling Hills. For this summertime activity everyone sat on carpet squares in a variety of colors which included a treat for their tongues. When they all arrived for their "ride" the were taught a summer poem about the sun. Then all the Students had the opportunity to memorized the following poem:
It's Nice to Know
It's nice to know, when I'm in bed,
That across the world
It's day instead-
And children there are having fun,
While it's their turn
To have the sun.
When they repeated it by heart they got another individual Jolly Rancher treat. Several Students were very jolly and took to memorizing as quickly as possible - however - it had to be word perfect and they only got 3 tries. This made it challenging and fun. There was a reluctant Student however with some encouragement and help from fellow friends went on to memorize the poem. Then everyone took to the art tables and used crayons, magic markers and pastels to create their "sun" for the summer. It was a great activity that you may want to do. The artwork hangs in the Community Room at Rolling Hills for everyone to see!
This Wednesday will be "Get Wet Wednesday" at Rolling Hills. Having water fun outside!
