• Drama - Khalil & Mr. Hagerty
  Children will be assigned a main character in a story they have recently read.  They will act out the story with a beginning, middle, and end.
• Read - Strictly No Elephants
  Child(ren) will read the book Strictly No Elephants with an adult for the first time. Story will be re-read several times during the week.
• Repeated Reading
  Repeated Reading According to research, it is recommended that preschool teachers prepare children for later reading instruction. They can do so by introducing the five critical building blocks for literacy including phonological awareness, letter identification, vocabulary knowledge, print concepts, and a positive attitude toward reading (Henry, 2019).
