Frank, The Amnesiac

Teacher: "What are you guys up to under the loft?"

Schoolagers: "This is our hospital!"

Teacher: "Oh, I see! Is that your patient laying down?"

Patient: "My name is Frank..." (Listlessly shakes head back and forth with eyes closed.) "I fell out of a plane, I think."

A Pretend Hospital Caregiver: "His name's not Frank. He has amnesia. He doesn't know who he is!"

Another Hospital Caregiver: "How many fingers do you have on your hand?"

Frank: "Five, I think."

Our schoolagers had a blast on their late start morning yesterday! It's not too often that we get a chance throughout the school year to really get down to the nitty gritty and play--with the exception late starts, half days, and vacation time! As caregivers we always appreciate being a part of the unique and entertaining games schoolagers create, the special art they make, and the cooperative play that happens (like this hospital scenario above). 

We also made some fun art collages!

Thanks so much for sharing your children with us! 

Please remember to let us know what your attendance plans are for the holidays by emailing Office@JoyfulNoiseKids.com or looking in your inbox for the email thread entitled "Holiday attendance...your child's schedule?" so that you can fill out the attached form.

Have a great weekend!

June 19th, 2014

Hello Everyone!

We have been having an exciting first two weeks of summer! Despite the rain holding up some activities, we have been making lots of fun memories! I hope to continue to post pictures of all our fun adventures through the summer!

During the first week of vacation, the library hosted a transportation petting zoo where the children were able to look at the different vehicle that serve the Grand Haven area.

We have also worked on our Father's Day mugs! Coloring white mugs with sharpies and then baking them was so much fun! They turned out AMAZING TOO!!

We also created our own mini beaches!

 Today, we created a movie theater in the rec room! There was a concession stand for the kids to get snacks from and we watched Happy Feet 2 on bean bags!

In-service fun!

The schoolagers had a blast this last Wednesday playing basketball, giving each other pampering makeovers, watching movies, making apple tarts, dancing and more!

Ask your school age child what some of their favorite activities were. We'll see you for a full day on our next in-service or snow day--with the way it's been blowing around us lately, that probably won't be too far away! ;)
