 Hello families, 

Today we went to music. Ask your child about the songs they sang. 

We practiced tally marks up to 20 and counted by 5's.  Ask your child to count by 5's to 20. 

Mr. Scout came and told us the story of Napi and the Rock. Then we made pattern candy canes for our door decorations too.
