We had a blast exploring cold weather and polar animals last week. This week were going in a different direction. The Greatest Show on Earth under the Big Top.. basically Fun at the Circus 
We will enjoy interactive games and “hands on” art activities. On Friday the children will put on a small show complete with clowns, face paint, treats (ice cream cones) and prizes. You are welcome to dress up as a clown on that day. Please have your child bring in their favorite stuffed animal. Learning is sooo fun!
