This is the Jibber Jabber News Wire. It is our online connection with the families that allow us the privilege of spending our days with their children. This newsletter is where we share funny stories and exciting events that take place while your children are in our very unique childcare. We will allow them opportunities that not every child would be allowed to have to explore new things in their world at a young age. We love to watch them investigate and see what happens as they try new experiences and gain so much knowledge. Please take a look and see all of the fun we have been having while we learn and get ready for school.

We're Coming Back to Earth!

Jibber Jabber has come back to Earth! Last week we wrapped up space week with some really awesome projects! We decided to come back in style by making our own astronaut helmets!

The kids had a fun time with this project as they learned why astronauts wear helmets! We talked about gravity and how astronauts look when they walk around in outer space! To complete the look, we decided to make jet packs! We made a great big glitter mess and everyone had a great time running around like astronauts!
Outer space was a lot of fun! The kids really enjoyed "flying" past the aliens on the swings!


Last but not least, we'll wrap up this week with some fun pictures of playing with cornstarch goo in the backyard! This was a great activity that everyone took part in!




When mixed with water, cornstarch looks just like a dough, but when you pick it up it turns into GOO! Everyone had so much fun squishing it in their fingers, burying their hands and watching it "melt" from up high!
Everybody say "Goo!"

3...2...1...LIFTOFF!

This week at Jibber Jabber we have been learning all about outer space! The kids have been having a fun time learning all about the planets, astronauts and rockets!


We started our week with outer space paintings! Using special alien paint, we painted tin foil and drew fun designs! We talked about what aliens might look like and even learned to speak alien!

Later in the week, we made alien masks! We danced around the playroom making funny alien sounds!
Along with all of our alien fun we painted planets! Each of the kids got to paint a few planets and we hung them up to make our solar system! Look for it hanging in the playroom!
We have had a lot of fun learning about outer space! We have also enjoyed reading books like "Where the Wild Things Are", "Green Eggs and Ham", and "Goldilocks and the Three Bears!" It's been another awesome week at Jibber Jabber!

Aloha from Jibber Jabber

Last week, we celebrated back to school and luau week! It was a very busy, exciting week for all of our school age friends as they got ready for their first day of school!

We had a fun time with our luau theme! We had hula hoops, beach balls, and luau crafts! The kids had an awesome time making their beautiful leis and wearing them proudly around the house!
Later in the week, we had a fun time sponge painting Hawaiin paper dolls! Landon decided to give his doll "dolphin hair!" We got nice and messy during this project!
Miss Sarah helped our friends make shell bracelets! Although they were difficult, they did not give up and they had the coolest bracelets to wear all day!


We had another exciting week at Jibber Jabber making cool luau crafts and getting messy! Aloha!
