We have finished The Classic Adventures of Brer Rabbit! Find a good book to read this afternoon or evening before bed.
Keep up the great work, Kindergarten families!
As always, reading with your child in the evenings is a great way to grow their mental word bank and fluency, and they may want to show their Math Card Deck to a parent or sibling after dinner!

See you tomorrow for School Day #102.
