Our March edition of the "Look at Me, I'm Three!" program was all about Bears!
The group read "Bear Snores On" by Karma Wilson. They learned about hibernation and made "caves" out of paper bags. During the mindfulness portion of the program, our young learners went on a little "bear hunt". As always, the evening also included music from Laurie Berkner and Dr. Jean!
We're excited to see how they're growing as they get closer and closer to their Pre-K eligible year! Information on next month's meeting is coming soon!
