As a former First Grade teacher, I LOVE LOVE LOVE children’s literature. It’s so much fun to read and to share.
I have number of children’s book activities on this blog (and am always adding more) so I thought it would be easier to have them all in one place for you to navigate faster. I’m going to try and organize them by theme (holidays, animals, author) to make them easier to find. Be sure to check back often to find the new activities that I add each week.
