it would be a good opportunity for both the kids and us. So in September we
will be exploring Art in our preschool lessons. We will visit the Metropolitan 11th: Book Order Due
Museum of Art online to view paintings, sculptures and other art offerings.

month we will also make Art with squares and the number 1.
