Underground and Underwater Theme

Hi Family and Friends!
Hope you have been enjoying the wonderful Spring weather and preparing for more warm days! We are starting our Underground and Underwater theme for the last two weeks of April. We have a lot of fun activities planned (especially some involving WORMS!) and I am excited to see how the kids like learning about these topics.

Thanks for all that you do!
Sarah
