March Recap
Dear Readers,
From green eggs and ham to shamrocks and pots of gold, March was a very lucky month for us. Since the weather got warm throughout the month, that gave us the opportunities to explore more outside and feed the animals that live around us. We made bird feeders out of oranges and popsicle sticks. We also continued to learn new moves in Ju Jitsu in the month of March. We beautified ourselves with homemade flower crowns. The competition heated up in Night Groups when they played in the video game competition prizes. We are so excited for what April has planned, and most importantly: APRIL VACATION!!!!
Sincerely,
Your Mystic Learning Center Team
