Parents: Please note that the corasponding snacks with the lessons are just a suggestion to bring with there lunches. It would help emensly with their learning to apply things in their lives to their learning. I will do my very best to try and keep each week with the same type of food/color of food etc.
I will do my best to add a new lesson plan to this blog every Saturday before the following week.
If there is any suggestions that you would enjoy seeing your child/children learning then please feel free to let me know and I will do my best to incorporate it.
Thanks so much!
