New Playgroup Format

The Issaquah Highlands Playgroup has decided to make a few new changes this fall after a very relaxed summer schedule to provide the children a little more structure and learning opportunity. Each Thursday when we meet we will keep to the following schedule. Each mom can volunteer for a week and theme then provide the craft, snack and book for that session. In addition, we will still have free play mats for children who are too young to participate in some of the activities.

If you are interested in receiving e-mails and information on the Issaquah Highlands Playgroup, please sign up for the playgroup's Google Group at http://groups.google.com/group/ihplaygroup. This is a different account from the previous yahoo group that we used.

Schedule:
9:30 to 9:40 Free Play
9:40 Welcome Song (sitting on a circle)
9:50 Theme and Crafts
10:10 Snack and Book
10:20 Circle Time
