News From Behind the Yellow Door

Hi Moms and Dads,

This has been another great week.   Everyone enjoyed meeting Mrs. Wishy Washy and all of her animals.  We will leave her animals enjoying the lovely mud.  

Eric Carle and some of his critters will be our next new friends.   He is one of my favorite children's authors.  His stories and illustrations are incredible.  The very hungry caterpillar ate and ate until he was big and fat but at the end of the story he surprised all of us.  We hope the grouchy lady bug learns to be kind to her friends.
