Hello, 2nd grade friends! I really miss our classes in the Kearns Library and I can't wait to see you there again. For now, I am going to continue sharing folktales from around the world with you by posting video read-alouds here on your page once a week. After you listen to each story, think about the questions I've posted below. Email me your thoughts if you like!
