冬の読書とクラフトクラブ

In this ongoing class, preschool students will meet once a week to discuss an assigned book that they have read either independently or with a grownup during the week. The teacher will facilitate a discussion by asking both comprehension and imaginative questions to help extend the students reading! When we are finished with our discussion we will begin a craft inspired by the book that we read that week. Students are welcome to drop in at any time. Each lesson is a stand alone book discussion and craft.
