T 夫人的夏季故事時間冒險

This class will be very laid back.  We will start each class by greeting one another and talking a little bit.  I will encourage students to grab a snack and get in their comfy spot as I get ready to read to them.  I have a fun opening song/chant that we will do each class to get us ready to listen.  Then I will share the book that I will be reading to them.  We will discuss it a bit and then dive in to reading it.  Throughout the book I will give students a chance to interact with the story and with me.  After we finish the book we will have a bit more discussion about the story and then move into the activity that goes along with it.  As we wrap up the class we will share what we have done with the activity and say goodbye to each other until next time.
