Wow Week 5 was SO much fun! The kids were so engaged and enthusiastic! But I guess with all the wiggling around, laughing and singing we do, how can they not be???
Thanks so much to Mr. Herson for more great science experiments this morning! They were so much fun and the kids really understood the concepts. Can't beat the hands-on nature of these sessions for our kiddos.
Before I get to the new grammar, one piece of business and a reminder.....
We worked really hard on our art projects today, and some needed extra time to finish them at home (they wanted to take their time and do them well rather than rush - BRAVO!)
SO Moms, can you PLEASE make sure they come back on week 6 (10/23)???
And remember - we have a break next week - so, unless I see you at the Ren Faire, I'll see you all again on the 21st! Don't want you sitting outside the church wondering where we've all gone!
