Lifeskill Update
The lifeskill for this month is Perseverance. It’s the old “never give up” attitude. Is your child still stuck on a skill? Let’s get those brains into overdrive. Read labels at the grocery store, measure in the garden, and of course you can always ask me for extra practice sheets.

Book of the Month
Bow Wow, Meow Meow poetry by Douglas Florian. These short animal poems keep the attention of early readers, while the puns and style keep the fluent readers on their toes.
