Magnet Board Story: Goldilocks and the Three Bears (pictures from learncreatelove.com) I color coordinated each piece for each character (i.e. Pappa Bear's bed, chair and bowl were all green)

Activity: Balloons.  I just blew up a bunch of balloons and the kids went crazy trying to keep them off the floor.

What I Learned: So happy I have been getting a consistent turnout of 10+ kids! Forgot to look at each name tag for the letter of the week (oops!) All went really well. So impressed the kids noticed
that coordinating colors of the Three Bears story objects. I was really surprised at how many kids remembered to bring their B item.
