The children will continue to work on "SIGHT WORD OF THE DAY." Plus, we will be introducing a musical person/group each month. The kids will hear some original music. This is a great opportunity for the kids to enjoy some of the most famous music makers. Kids will also be interacting with the other kids and making friends along the way. The fun doesn’t end there, the kids will also have the opportunity to make a craft that ties in to the book we just read. Space is limited. Please register for this program online here.

We will still have the bubble gun and a new song to sing together! What a fun way to spend the morning together! We will introduce some S.T.E.M. to the children too. Space is limited.
