"Out of This World!"

Perry's Summer Camp provides week-long, themed programs. This week was, "Out of This World." The children took a field trip to the UofM Exhibit Museum where they learned about space, dinosaurs, Native Americans and my personal favorite, rocks and minerals.

Of course the dinosaurs were the main attraction for the children





After visiting the museum, the children made their own "out of this world" creations!


Perry Garden Project!

Update! Can you believe the garden is already producing veggies?

Look! The beans are growing! The children are doing a great job taking care of the garden, and now their hard work is producing real results.

When I went outside to speak to one of the teachers, Miss Kristine, she had a small cup in her hand full of yellow beans. The children were gathered around her glowing from excitement about seeing the beans grow from their garden.

The tomato plants are growing rapidly too!

In The Week Ahead…

Ocean In Motion!

Why I Love Perry Reason of the Week...

Sometimes it's the simplest things in this world that can turn a bad day into a great day- for me it's dancing. Dancing has never been one of my strengths. The beauty of children is they just don't care how good or bad they are at anything, they will give it their all regardless. Today, Heavenly came in the office and told me downstairs was a 60's party, and that the children were doing the twist. I had to see for myself.

When I arrived downstairs, the twist was over, but "Wolly Bully" was blasting from the speakers of an un-seen radio. My smile grew into laughter as I watched the children dance. They each had a signature move- moves that I could never re-create even if I practiced.
