Arbor Annie’s Weekday Roundup – August 27-31
It’s the last week of summer. It’s your last chance to visit pools and water parks, and enjoy time with the kids before they head to school. Highlights of the week are the Saline Fair and Summer Games Wrapup.
Weekly Sponsor: Dexter Co-Op Preschool
Dexter Co-op Preschool
dDexter Co-op Preschool’s mission is to provide a preschool where young children engage in group experiences before entering the elementary school, where emphasis is placed on the growth and development of the child and parent together, and where cooperation and exchange of ideas among members is encouraged.
Dexter Co-op goals are to provide your preschool child with the kind of environment and varied experiences that will encourage him or her to:
- Develop a positive self-image and sense of security as he or she relates to other children and adults.
- Discover his or her interests by exploring his or her world.
- Learn to work and play cooperatively with other children in a large group.
- Maintain health and physical development by providing the chance to improve coordination, balance, speed, grace, and strength.
- Grow in a friendly, relaxed, accepting environment.
- Broaden social contacts with other children and adults.
- Develop a sense of responsibility, independence, self-direction, and self-control.
Arbor Annie’s Weekday Picks
This is the last week to visit most of the local pool or water park options. Over the weekend, we had great times at Jump Island and Rolling Hills Water Park.
This week is also the Saline Fair. For toddlers, preschoolers, and younger elementary children, I definitely recommend Children’s Day on Thursday – it was one of my favorite events of the year when my daughter was younger. The fair offers rides, animal interaction, and more.
If you’ve been playing the AADL Summer Game, don’t miss the Summer Game 2018 GAME OVER Gala on Friday night.

Movies
Our top movie pick this week is Sing Along Beauty & the Beast on Tuesday at Michigan Theater.
New last weekend is A.X.L. about a robotic dog. I don’t know much about the film, but it is rated PG.
We saw Christopher Robin last weekend. While we all enjoyed it, the movie is better for adults and older kids than younger kids.
Ad:
Continuing in theaters are the animated films Hotel Transylvania 3 and Teen Titans Go! Of course Incredibles 2 is our top animated pick.
If you haven’t seen Ant-Man and The Wasp, we really enjoyed it. Be sure to check our review and parental guidance before heading to the theater.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom continues in its second week and is a good choice for tweens and teens. Check out our review and parental guidance.
