Chick-fil-A Story Time July 8, 2024 : Bugs

Posted by kimr on

We love story time at Chick-fil-A Gainesville (TX) (Gainesville, TX). This week we read about bugs. Ms. Kim taught us the ASL sign for “bug” so we could interact during the book each time we saw a bug.

Monday’s Art in the Stacks class painted cactus. They learned how to mix acrylic paints to make new colors. They practiced mixing colors on their plate before painting, then practiced mixing the colors as they painted on the canvas.
