During our “Awesome Authors” session, we read various classic children’s books including The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin, Jr. and The Cat in the Hat and One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss. Then we made various crafts and snacks to coordinate with the books.

For “The Great Outdoors,” we went on a nature walk and collected items for leaf rubbings and nature collages. We colored and baked rocks, made apple stamps and learned more about the native ecosystem and the desert. We went bird watching, made bird feeders, made handprint suns, and enjoyed mud pie snacks!
