We are happy the snow is gone to we can get back to school this week!

During Circle Time we practiced sorting objects by color.

For our Art Center we glued square "snow" to our paper to make a snowman.

We have a field trip coming up to the Children's Museum. We will all meet there. Be sure to check the flier in your Heart binders.

This month, we are learning that in the 5th day God made the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea.
