So far this year, we have read magazines about being kind, pumpkins, the sky at night, apples, and animals that are up all night. The students love seeing the videos and discussing what they have learned. In PreK, we have circled letters, drawn our own pumpkins, and danced together during the dance breaks. In Kindergarten, we have learned about bats, circled lots of sight words, and worked together to complete lots of fun activities. These magazines are the perfect link between school and home and our students enjoy bringing the magazines home and sharing them with their families. Just this week, we have begun to use magnifying glasses to spot details in our magazines. Everyone loves coming into the library and seeing what we are learning about next!\r\n\r\nI cannot thank you enough for your support! I wish I could put tons of pictures that share all of the smiles, the enthusiasm, and the learning that happens with these magazines.
