The bookshelf holds some of our little book readers to help them start reading. These books I will send home with students to allow them further reading and learning how to read. \r\n My students thought it was so cool that someone helped us get these resources. They are excited to read our books and be able to show their parents what they are working on and how good they are doing in school. Kindergarten is a whole new level for our students.
