- Notes and Responses 2-13-13: I keep reminding myself that last year there was practically no snow and we didn't have 4K five days a week. Nonetheless, my attendance is worrying me. I posted on Facebook the general theme and craft on Tuesday, I only prepared a small amount of crafts and take home bags, it was a glorious sunny day, and 35 people came. I had much simpler Valentine's Day craft stuff, since we are doing Valentines for Messy Art Club tomorrow.
- Notes and Responses 2-8-12: Wow! Super huge group today! I had construction paper to fold in half, paper hearts, foam hearts with sticky backs, sparkles, glue, markers, and crayons. Fun but messy. The kids LOVED doing the two familiar songs, although I had a stampede on the flannel board for five little snowmen (and afterwards one of the toddlers covered it with crayon, but oh well it still holds flannels)
Introduction, welcome, and announcements: Messy Art Club tomorrow, Valentines! Sign up for Dr. Seuss!
