Let’s get these little learners ready for a fun packed school year with a little help from my list of school books.
Get rid of those worries, learn how to be a friend, and always remember, that learning is so much fun!
Starting school can be a little scary, but only because those little learners don’t always know what to expect. Since they have many school years ahead of them, let’s give them a sturdy foundation by sharing a few loving and silly stories about school. We can do that with a little help from Pete the Cat, dinosaurs, and a little boy named David.
