We had a wonderful snowy Story Hour this morning. We read “Whose Tracks in the Snow?” by Alexandra Milton and tried to figure out which robotic animals made these tracks in the paint. Lots of fun watching the kids learn about our symbols of the week (TRAVEL and LIMB) and chase the little animals around afterwards. We practiced lots of different ways to travel — on two limbs and four! Then, we got to observe lots of tracks in the snow out on Germantown Ave too. 🐾👣
