Through movement\, engineering challenges and sensory exploration\, children will engage with themes of marine biology\, physical activity\, ocean science and imaginative play!   \nJuly 1 – 7: Crustacean Station: Join us this week to get moving like your favorite ocean crustaceans. In this movement challenge\, children will be imitating the movements of crabs\, lobsters\, shrimp and hermit crabs. This activity encourages physical activity and imagination to learn about these ocean animals. \nStory time (11:00 a.m. & 3:00 p.m.): A House for Hermit Crab by Eric Carle  \nJuly 8 – 14: Jawsome Sharks: Shark week!
