The circus is in town! We are headed to the circus on Friday. So, what better than a circus theme for part of our learning this week. This will really be a new experience for all of us, as I don't ever remember going to the circus myself. Today we enjoyed some great circus stories, a clown hat craft and some juggling.
Here are our 2 favorite stories of the day!
