I just love all of your ideas. I wish Kindergarten was a full-day, as it would allow for more time to create these fantastic ideas, maybe one daily! Alas, our day is too short and we must hustle for 3.5 hours to get the core concepts completed. Thank you for all you do! Be safe, healthy and happy, always!– Julie B., Mira Loma, CA
