Class Description: Elephant and Piggie, Knuffle Bunny, Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, and more! Enter the wacky world of popular author Mo Willems. Get to know these lovable characters through imagination and creative play.

Program Type: Our half day, one-week program focuses solely on process. Students will explore the week’s theme through creative play (becoming characters, telling a story) and early literacy. On the final day of class, families are welcome to observe (and participate!). This class promotes arts exploration and will provide a space to learn, grow, and use their imaginations.

Pick Up/Drop Off Information: The entire program will take place at Bethel Lutheran Church (312 Wisconsin Avenue) in downtown Madison. CTM families may NOT enter/use the parking lot for ANY reason. They must find parking elsewhere and walk their child into the building. Pick up and drop off will happen in the parking lot foyer, where students and families will be met by the CTM teaching staff each day. The drop off for the first day of the program will be in the Emmaus Room in Bethel, followed by a brief orientation for parents.
