The reunions for experiments were always a time for learning in a playful manner, novel and entretaining! After these classes my daughter kept all materials, so that she could show me and explain her discoveries when I come back home from my job!!! Wonderful moments of interaction between mother and daughter! I found these classes excellent way to wake up curiousity to everyday life experience!
