Starting off 2010 with the 5 Senses!

Hello Friends and Families!
Happy NEW YEAR! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break and I am excited to see the kids! It is amazing how long two weeks away from them can feel!!!:) Hopefully they are ready to get back to the grind and have some fun back at NV! The next two weeks will be all about our 5 senses: touch, sight, hearing, taste, smell. We have a variety of fun activities for your children!

Thanks!
Sarah
