Announcements: Show and Tell is on Wednesday and Thursday. Have your child choose a favorite stuffed animal to bring. Tuition is due this week
Home Challenge: Spring is here and summer is not too far so get out and enjoy the weather. This week I finally got outside and mowed the lawn, raked some leaves, and realized all the balls and outside toys are in disarray. I know my kids are more proned to play outside with balls and such if they are clean, pumped up, and playable. So if you haven’t done it already check out where your kids play outside and see if it’s all ready to go. Then go out and play catch with them, or kick around a ball.
