Story Hour: In honor of Mother's Day coming up, we read "What Moms Can't Do" by Douglas Wood. There are many things that regular people can do but moms can't. Here are a few examples (from the book): Moms can't wait to wake up kids. Sometimes moms can't remember where they put the car keys. Moms can't run very fast. Sometimes moms can't hear themselves think (whatever that means).
But there is only one thing moms do better than almost anyone...and that is love you!
The kids made handprint Mother's Day cards.
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Story Hour today was fun. We read "Little Blue Truck's Springtime" by Alice Schertle. ❤️ This one is a lift-the-flap board book about Little Blue Truck and his friend Toad. They are out for a drive on a lovely spring day and along the way, they meet several baby farm animals. (Toad is driving)
The kids made a match game featuring various mama farm animals and their babies. Since it is a rainy morning, the kids can have fun inside and match the right babies with their mamas.
Have a great day!
