Nursery Rhyme Time! 2/1-12

Hello Friends and Families!
We actually had a blast doing the mall theme over the past two weeks and thanks for being so supportive throughout!:) Who knew there were so many awesome vocabulary words/concepts that go along with the mall! So moving on to our new theme: nursery rhymes. We will be doing 5 total over the next two weeks (1 every 2 days) and adding pages to a giant nursery rhyme book every time we do a new one so your child will have a book to take home at the end of the theme! Should be a great theme and we have a lot of fun language experiences planned.

Thanks again for all that you do!
