Let's enjoy a good book and a fun craft! For emerging readers ranging from kindergarten to 2nd grade , we'll meet and all read a book aloud together. Afterwards, we'll talk about it while we do a related craft. We'll explore a range of early readers at varying levels that kids can read independently or enjoy with a grown-up. In November, we're reading I Am Thankful by Suzy Capozzi .
