May Memories in Pre-K 2!

Good afternoon Pre-K 2 families,

This week we had our last visit from Mrs. G. We were lucky enough to get to walk down the hallway to the choir room to play some instruments! The children played xylophones and glockenspiels to the Teddy Bear song they have been learning all year. We have enjoyed our monthly visits with Mrs. G and the children have learned a lot. Thanks to Mrs. G for sharing her love of music with our class!
