Weekly Theme Update September 27 – October 1

This weeks theme is Fun on the Farm. It’s one of biggest themes of the year. We can go on for weeks exploring lifestyle, produce, foods, and of course animals. In fact we’ll spend two weeks on this theme, starting with tractors and farmers. Feel free to wear your farming attire all week…(yes i will too). We’ll end the week with a “farm fresh breakfast” @ 8:45 to 9:30 a.m. Please make sure your child is here early that morning to participate. If you have anything to share, please do!
