Gimme Those Green Pants

We all have that piece of clothing or that accessory that makes us feel invincible.  For me, it was my Wonder Woman underoos.  For my sister, it was her "bell" dress -- a dress with a swirly skirt that had a bell pinned to the inside.  What was it for YOU?  And what is it for the star of our feature story?

Green Pants by Kenneth Kraegel

Art - Create an apple for teacher.
Math - Where will your name fall on our community graph?
Music - Dance and play along with some toe-tapping tunes!
Science - Take part in our screaming balloon experiment.
Snack - Enjoy a cool popsicle treat.
Storytime - Make poetry come alive as you act out I'm Being Swallowed by a Boa Constrictor.

Every child will also receive an official Going to Kindergarten button badge when they arrive and a stamp on the hand as they leave.  And make sure you experience Picture Day in our Class of 2030 photo booth.  You do not have to register for this event.  Just follow the stars to the Youth Program Room.
