The exciting letter X takes center stage today as we continue with the excellent alphabet!

The letters of the alphabet are transformed and incorporated into twenty-six illustrations so that the hole in the "b" becomes a balloon and the "y" turns into the head of a yak!

Thank you to Miss Tiffany and Miss Gloria from the Children's Museum for visiting us during the 10:30am session!  It was fun to enjoy a bilingual storytime and learn about the ways families can spend time together.

Let's practice counting to 10!
