Star Class News
Week of April 20th
Thank you to all of the wonderful visitors that came to visit us last week. We didn’t get a lot of time for projects but the kids really enjoyed the hands on story time with Ryan, the librarian, rock exploration, checking out the police cars and cement mixer, and listening to our firefighter and Taekwondo demonstrations.
Elevator
The elevator is only for families with strollers, or people who need physical assistance. At no time should a child be in the elevator by themselves. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

Our sign-up is out for our Spring time play, Tuesday, May 19th at 9:30 at the Theater at Fort Vancouver High School. The fee will be $6 per ticket.

April Showers
Dance little raindrop (wiggle fingers)
Tap with tiny feet (tap feet)

Grow little seeds (sq
And see the cloudy sky (point to sky)
Spring Song
Put up your Umbrella
When the rain comes down
Wear a happy smile
And wipe away a frown
Splash in all the puddles
And do a little dance
Rain is just the thing we need
For new Spring Plants
