On Monday, December 3, 2007 both Kindergarten classes visited Montclair State University’s Memorial Auditorium for our first class trip of the year.  TheatreworksUSA presented a musical revue based on a popular children's book, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie (by Laura Joffe Numeroff).  There were seven other stories presented throughout the play.

Below are pictures of how we prepared for the trip, pictures of us on the trip and our favorite thing about the trip. We hope you Enjoy!
