Beaver Readers
This week, students in Kindergarten, first, and third grade listened to the Washington Children’s Choice Award nominee “Friends are Friends Forever,” by Dane Liu. They enjoyed creating red paper snowflakes just like the characters in the story! This book is a great way to introduce a discussion about friendship, family traditions, and world holidays.
