Marta Ciccone. Marta came to Wee Wee three years ago, in the winter of 2011. She transitioned to the older classroom a year later. Marta and her family have filled our lives with laughter, language, stories of the world, great parties, great nonas and great support of our program. Marta is curious and articulate. She notices the (big!) world around her and asks questions that inspire others to engage and learn. Her temperament is spicy and her joy contagious. We will miss Marta so very much. Thank you, Marta, for growing with us and teaching US about our Wee World. WE LOVE YOU! Ciao, Marta, Chiara, Pamina and Baboo!
