Last week recap: We enjoyed celebrating Dr. Seuss, dressing up

for Dr. Seuss spirit days and reading Dr. Seuss books! We learned
about community helpers and explored the new toys.
 

This week: We will learn more about community helpers, more

specifically doctors. We will learn a new letter and complete
multiple art projects.
