Story Time

Wyatt brought a book from home and I asked if I would read it

Thanks for sharing

Brody also brought a book(we ran out of time to read it, but he wanted everyone to have a chance to see it, so we put it in the book area for the others to look at during center time..... so nice of you Brody,.... thanks for sharing)

Charlie was our weather helper

Nora our prayer leader

Carly our snack manager

Snack time

We spent a few minutes making plans for how we are

So here's a clue.......... we are going to move the "ZOO" into the foyer

and then one family at a time can "view" the zoo though the window
