Here are some ways to protect you and your child from harmful UV sun rays when enjoying the outdoors this summer:

• Stay in the shade whenever possible. Plan indoor activities during the mid-day hours when the UV rays are strongest and most dangerous.
• If possible, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants or skirts.
• Wear a hat that shades the face, neck, ears and scalp.
• Wear sunglasses to protect eyes from UV rays.
• Use a sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 15 every time your child goes outside. Don't forget to apply to ears, noses, lips, and tops of feet.

Mrs. Jones' 4K class recently studied the Life Cycle of a Plant. Students were able to observe the seeds beginning to form roots, and then they documented the progress in their journals.
