We were supposed to rotate between three groups and finish our science, but it totally slipped my mind, so the children did some letter review activities like making playdo letters and matching capitals and lowercases.

I try to post my blogs right after the week is over.  I have been trying to get ready for next school year and have not been able to work on the blogs until now.  My updated website for next school year is: http://www.frenchvalleykpreppreschool.com/index.htm
