Home Assignments: Fall 2015

We’ll give the girls a home assignment each week, where we ask them to practice 1-2 skills on their own for 5-10 minutes a few times during the week. Many of these activities only need a small amount of space, and can be done indoor if needed. These items come from our playing at home catalog.
