Each day, a new craft or activity is offered along with a snack and power hour. We have implemented new power hour activities that include multiplication and sight word flash cards, time puzzles and sight word games. It is amazing to see the children excel in their work. Please ensure your child has a sweater or jacket every day, as it is getting cold out and the children are eager to play outside.
