My Project

My Pre-K students are excited to see how a butterfly grows. They are very curious about many things. They are always looking for a snack in the afternoon but not many of them are given a healthy snack daily. It’s getting warmer and they get thirsty running around. Some bottled water would be ideal for the next few months. I have noticed how much the children enjoy the doll house even though we do not have furniture to put in there.

If we can get some dolly furniture it would be amazing.
