Hello, Cook Cubs! How do you kids like my library picture? It is kind of like the Cook library isn't it? I know I am not actually sitting in my rocking chair reading to you all, but I created a picture that can remind us of what our library time is like. I will post a book every week so that we can still read together. I hope you kids have been doing some of your own reading too! I miss you!
Love, Mrs. Metzger
