My Project

Even in 3rd grade, we love to listen to seasonal read alouds! For Halloween, we read "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!" and our classes LOVED it! It was so special to watch them enjoy this classic.

We want to share these read alouds with our class during each season.

We love coming to the carpet and sharing a special story together! Our students get engaged with the characters, learn to stop and make predictions, and just enjoy a classic read aloud.

Please help us add these additions to our classes!
