AFTERSCHOOL: SPRING 2010

It's so exciting to see so many returning faces from grade 3 afterschool and winter camps! They've entered my regular school hours twice/weekly so now i see these kids 3 times/week.
They are a bright bunch, and like games a lot. It's all girls except Brian. I have a feeling we'll be playing a lot of hands-on movement games.

First Unit based on the book "Don't Cut My Hair!"
