Junebug Academy: Camping We Will Go

The Junebug Weekly

Thursday August 11

Let's Go Camping!

The Creative Corner

Fish. Camp. Hike.

Brown Bag Backpack and Binoculars

Junebugs will use camp themed stickers to turn grocery store bags into personalized backpacks. They will love filling their pack with camping supplies (i.e. binoculars made from toilet paper rolls) and wearing them on our pretend play nature hike.

Crackling Campfires

Junebugs will glue sticks and crumpled yellow and orange tissue paper onto black construction paper to create campfires.

Two Percent Tents

Junebugs will paint milk cartons to look like tents.They will then use grass and sticks to design a camp scene for their tents.

Digging For Worms

Junebugs will have fun pouring chocolate pudding, crushing Oreo cookies, and burying gummy worms to make a delicious snack that looks just like worms covered in dirt and mud.

Camp Junebug

Junebugs will engage in social and pretend play as they fish, roast marshmallows, shine flashlights, and sleep in a tent at our realistic campsite.

Circle Time Routine

Educational. Social. Playful.

Greeting

Find and sit on your circle time mat. Greet your friends with the song 'Hello Neighbor!'. Read Fly High Little Bird.

Morning Stretch

"Point to your nose, reach down to your toes, wiggle your hips, and bend your elbows. Reach up high to the sky, reach down low to the floor, stretch to the window, and stretch to the door. Whisper 'shhhhh' and sit quietly on the floor."

Morning Work
