-Library Read Aloud: 

Each week, our class will visit the library (Tuesday 9am). During this time, parent volunteers will do a read aloud - picture book of choice, and then the students will select a book to check out for the week. We hope that all of our parents are able to read at some point during this school year. Thank you!
