Hand Washing Techniques
Thank you to the Clay County Extension Services and Diane Dodge for coming and demonstrating proper hand washing techniques and letting the children see where they left germs after hand washing.
Insects & Spiders
The monkey class at CCDC is learning about insects and spiders. We have learned that spiders have 8 legs and are arachnids, they spin webs from silk. This week the monkey class made their own web using yarn. The children enjoyed working together.
