Back To School Activitiesgo

11/26/2023

The first day of school is an exciting day for parents, teachers and students. One of the best ways to welcome your students back to school is with a great read aloud. As a K-2 bilingual teacher, I am recommending three excellent (3) books and learning activities to go along with the books your students are sure to love. These books are perfect for engaging children in learning during the first week of school. Have a wonderful school year!
