Field Trip!

Remember tomorrow is field trip day! Yahoo!


We had to rearrange a few things from the original schedule we sent out at the beginning of the summer so tomorrow we're going swimming at the Whitewater Aquatic Center!

Feel free to send your child with a lifejacket or arm floats if they need help swimming! Please don't hesitate to contact the DCC staff if your child has difficulty swimming!

Treasure Hunters

For treasure hunters day we donned our newspaper pirate hats and went on a treasure hunt around Deerfield!

 We used a GPS to navigate our way to the "hidden treasure."

Almost there!

We found it!

What is it?

We added "DCC" to the list of others that found this geocache in the Glacial Drumlin Park!


When we got back to the elementary school we cooled off in the computer lab and created our own electronic treasure maps!!!

Our tie-dye supplies finally arrived so we got to make our shirts... they're rainbow this year! :) Look for your child to bring theirs home on Friday, I can't wait to see them!!!

Geocaching!

All Ball

Today the Zoomobile came to Deerfield!


The fantastic zoo educators taught us about millipedes, turtles, blue tongued skinks, parrots, and ferrets!

Millipedes! Ewww!

Ferrets!

Some of us were even brave enough to pet the turtle and the blue tongued skink!

We stopped at Savannah Park on the way home and got to play for a little bit!

For All Ball day we made hand-print wreathes to represent our favorite sports teams and played baseball in the gym! 

Fired Up Pottery & The Monona Dream Park

Last week for our field trip we went to Fired Up Pottery and made suncatchers! We didn't get to bring them home last week but we're expecting a call this week so we can pick them up! We even got a demonstration of how to make different things on a pottery wheel like coffee cups, vases, and even a volcano! 


Take a look at what we did! 

Looks awesome, Paul!

Working hard!

After Fired Up Pottery we got to play at the Monona Dream Park!

Being goofy at the park!

Make a silly face!
