We read about winter birds, where they live, and some of the silly things they do. Have you ever seen a pigeon drive a sleigh? We also made bird feeders to feed the birds this winter. #CCLchildrensclass #earlyliteracy #EducateEngageEnrich  

We read about animal and people homes. We are thankful for the homes we live in and the things inside them. #CCLchildrensclass #EducateEngageEnrich  

Last week’s children’s class celebrated Thanksgiving by reading books about food. Ms. Kim chose “Counting to bananas : a mostly rhyming fruit book” and a bilingual book, “I’m hungry! = Tengo hambre!”, which are both on the 2023 Texas 2×2 Reading List. The complete 2023 Texas 2×2 Reading List was purchased thanks to a 2023 Texas Book Festival Collections Enhancement Grant. #txlibrarygrant #CCLchildrensclass #earlyliteracy #EducateEngageEnrich
