The kids, as always, loved it and I can tell that C's attention span is really maturing! He is now actually listening to the whole story(even though I try to choose ones that are not too terribly long!) and participates in the craft as well!
This time around we focused on seasons. I chose this because just last week we decided to put C in K4 instead of holding him back in K3(we may still hold him back ultimately for kindergarten, but are not doing so at this time!) because he really has come a long way academically(well, as much as 3-year-old can be called "academic" - haha!) and he tends to act better around older kids than younger kids. Anyway... all that to say that there are a few things that most of the other kids learned at his school in K3 that he did not get to learn in the Parents Day Out program. Seasons is one of those things!
Both of them had fun with it and of course Little Miss had fun trying to "teach" her brother!!!
