LIBRARY UPDATE

I enjoyed seeing your reading forts. You did a great job! I think the virtual spirit week was fun too.

Next week was supposed to be our spring break and I thought I would share some fun things for you to do. In fact 100 Ways to Play! The Boston Children’s Museum has a list of 100 Ways to Play. Click here for the list 
Some of the ways involve playing in or with snow, I hope we don’t have anymore snow this year. Think of it as really a list of 92 Ways to Play.
