Almost everyone had a folder today which helped SO much more with time management than I can express to you! Thank you SO much!
And snack was just THAT! Not a buffet! Hooray! Really helped with the timing and attention for Presentations! They did a FABULOUS job with eye contact! Ask them about the "Googley Eyes"!
Next week's presentation topic suggestion is their favorite Bible verse or story.
The Skill is ARTICULATION so that they can be understood clearly.
A huge thank you to all the moms who are there for my "All Hands On Deck" moments and who just general lend their support to our awesome group! Thank you all for entrusting me with your precious cherubs - I love them!
I hope you all have a blessed week!
