Smart Start Week 6

Let's Go Camping!

As we move through the year, we will have weeks that are 100% review and reinforcement of concepts we are learning. This week, we chose a camping theme as a way to review and it was a wild adventure! It was such a thrill to see so much progress this week as we really took time to focus and practice.
