Hello Parents.
Welcome to March. This month we are focusing on transportation. The children will be using cars and trucks in many new ways in the classroom including running them through brown paint (mud), and having markers taped to the back in order to draw with the cars.
Thank you for working on the story, and songs with your little one.
