Dear Au-some families,
With the ongoing pandemic and the increase of local cases we have decided to be extra cautious for the time being and pause our in-person Au-some Evening event. However, Explore & More – The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Children’s Museum, plans to offer a free virtual Au-some Evening. This event will take place Friday January 8 th and run from 6pm to 7pm. This event will take place on Zoom and your child will join the call with a pair of educators who will be facilitating several activities.
The agenda for the event will go as follows:
6:00pm – 6:05pm – Welcome and introductions.
Warm up exercises.
Story time number one.
Snowy Day bring your favorite stuffed animal!
Music Time with Sara Rogers.
At home science experiment. During this period children will be led by our educators and provide instruction of a fun at home science experiment. Caregivers please have a clear glass, oil, water, and salt, and/or alternatively baking soda or vinegar for this science experiment.
Sleep, Big Bear, Sleep! Be prepared to interact with another fun story!
A winter themed story will be read during this period.
7:00pm – Closing thoughts and goodbyes.

As an Au-some family you are welcome to join the Zoom at any time throughout the event. We hope to see your families for this exciting all virtual Au-some Evening!

Au-Some Evenings are brought to us through the generous support of Mother Cabrini Health Foundation, the Summit Center and the Maria Love Convalescent Fund.
