So far this summer we’ve been able to do a lot of fun classes through Parks & Rec. Addie, the Activities Coordinator, does an awesome job planning and putting on all the classes.
We were able to do Book and a Bite again this summer, a 3 week reading/cooking class. The first week they read “The Hungry Caterpillar” and made apple & cherry turnovers…
as well as banana caterpillars:
It was a lot of fun watching Luke be able to do more of the tasks himself, being a year older!
They also decorated their own aprons – Luke likes anything with his name on it!
Once they were done with the aprons, Luke and his friend Taven somehow ended up on the stage at the two podiums. I think they look like they are ready to debate, but they were actually singing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” (sorry the picture is dark, there weren’t very many lights on in the room!)
The next week was an ocean theme and they made fish pizzas and “fish food” necklaces. I didn’t have my camera with me that morning though.
I taught the 3rd week, and we read the book “Cupcake” and the kids got to decorate their own cupcakes with piping bags of frosting and lots of colorful sprinkles and sugar.
Beka even joined in, though I’m pretty sure all she ate was the frosting. Can’t blame her, it was delicious buttercream!!
And here’s Luke with his decorated cupcakes!
Other classes we have done are “A-B-Seas” – a reading readiness class, Nursery Rhyme Math, and Ka-Boom. Here’s a picture of Luke, Carter & Lexie eating their watermelon popsicles at Ka-Boom:
Beka has been a trooper at all these classes – sometimes I have to keep her in the stroller so she doesn’t wreck havoc on what the other kids are doing:
Other times she tries to participate in the class as well. I’m not sure how she ended up with the clown wig on, but it was pretty funny!
A little later in the summer there will be some classes just for her – we’re excited!
