Session 9 – Aug 8-12 : Thunder! Lightening! Snow!
Where does rain come from? Why doesn't it snow in the summer? What makes a tornado? Let’s put on our meteorologists’ hats and find the answers to these questions and more.

Chick a Chick a Boom Boom, letters and numbers all around the room. We will spend the week walking through this book and several others by author Bill Martin. What a fun way to learn all about letters and numbers as we look toward the start of the school year.
