I hope every one had a fun-filled three day weekend! A month of school has already come and gone, we cannot believe it! This month we will be learning about community helpers and each week our dramatic play center will be focused on a type of community helper, the kids love dramatic play and it is a great learning opportunity.
The first Thursday of every month we will be having Foundation Music School visit our classroom to teach a 30 minute lesson. The teacher will be coming into our classroom at 10:30. This week will be their first visit to our classroom, so I do not know what to expect yet, but we are excited for the musical opportunity. If you would like to check them out online here is their web site: http://www.foundationmusicschool.org/
