For March is Reading Month I like to invite families to come in and read to the class. I have books available to read, or you may bring one of your family favorites to share. Below is the link to sign up to read to our class. I do like it to be a surprise – so don’t tell your student you are coming! Thank you for sharing in this celebration of reading with us.
