Reading and Math Fun
This week went by so quickly in Children’s House 2-1! All of our friends worked so hard on simple addition and subtraction problems.

All this foundation work left us time for only one major art project… the […]

The last few weeks
The last few weeks have been super busy! We have continued with our alphabet and we have made some pretty fun crafts! We attempted to make ladybugs but the paint chipped away before we could finish them. We learned all about pets and talked about the pets that some of our friends have at home, […]
Shapes And Snakes
This past week the Toddler 2 class learned all about shapes! We also read a book about counting, and we made snakes for our craft. Ms. Marcia brought in her violin for music class. We said goodbye to our friend Gus who moved up to the Transition class!
Out of Gas…
