Fall 2017 Preschool Storytime: Weeks Twelve & Thirteen 11-21-17 & 11-28-17

Last week got away from me!  Posting for two weeks of storytimes.  I can't believe our fall session comes to an end this week.  We've had so much fun and have learned so much.  Our weekly math skills were also popular with the families, with many of them saying they've been practicing at home as well!  Hooray!  Now we take off the month of December (although we're still doing a million other things) to prep the next round of storytimes.
