Fun Fun Fun!

     Even through the school year, Kid Zone likes to plan fun things for the kids to do! In our after-homework art center, the kids did marble painting with Mrs. Gloria in the early part of the week:

The kid's artwork is on display (:

On Friday, the kids got together and painted a cool cardboard picture scene! All painting done by all ages !! This will be used in the church's annual block party on October 11th!

Here are some of the boys building Lego creations in the game room! :

  Quote for the past week:

Blog posts will be posted every Friday so make sure your checking up!

Also, more info about the block party will be posted later (:

Back in the swing of things!

Here it is 3rd week of school, and the kids are adapting well. We've done a lot of changes, including giving each age group their own rooms for homework time. This is a nice change for both the students and the teachers. It gives the kids the space that they need to focus on age-appropriate assignments, and allows the groups to be smaller so teachers are able to help all the students they need to ! Each month the teachers will change their door decorations to keep the classrooms interesting, so be sure to be on the lookout. Here is this months:

 The Kids in the 4th/5th grade room got creative and used themselves as letters!

 4th/5th grade door!

 The 2nd-3rd grade fingerprint art.

 We love KZ!! ASL symbol for "I love you."

Kindergarten/1st grade loves going back to school!

K/1st kids are going nuts!

On Fridays, we have all day freeplay!

Enjoy this picture of Rosie being silly (:

BE SURE TO BRING OLD CD'S, SAFETY GOGGLES, AND GLOVES TO KZ BY SEPTEMBER 22ND FOR A COOL ART PROJECT WITH MS.MORGAN !!!! (:

To our 6th grade companions, we wish you guys all the luck in middle school, break a leg ;) (but not really, that would stink!) To our returning friends, we hope you have a wonderful 1st day of school, and don't forget to take your teacher appreciation gifts with you! We're excited to hear all about your day(s)! This school year will be fun, and we can all start counting down the days until summer again (:

 Here is a combined craft! We took some tp flower planters from art week, the wildflower seed from Dr. Seuss week, and planted them during back to school week! If you haven't seen them yet, be sure to look because they are starting to sprout!

 Here we took broken crayons and melted them down into new, cool crayons! One crayon box's trash is another student's treasure (:
