Well hope you got your fill of Frogs this week… I know we did! We learned that frogs have webbed feet that help them swim and can live in water and on land. We leaped, hopped and talked about how they grow and change just like us. Another great week @ the Kondo!

Sports/Fitness is next weeks theme. We’ll beef up our games, tumble on mats, limbo and end the week with a Sports-type banquet/Ice cream Social. It’ll be a blast;) All friends (except Tadpoles) please bring in a white t-shirt for decorating by Friday morning. AND if you have any sport items, please share. ex. basketball, baseball & glove, tennis racket, soccer ball, football, etc. For the little guys we’ll roll the ball, jump through hula hoops, play tug-a-war, and crafts. Looking forward to it!
