We love the simplicity of it, and how it supports activities that caregivers are (probably, hopefully!) already doing with their kids. <br />Thanks for passing it along.Sarah S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124163029230555324.post-32666071113627241982013-03-12T10:38:24.063-05:002013-03-12T10:38:24.063-05:00What I LOVE about this is your enthusiasm comes th...What I LOVE about this is your enthusiasm comes through on all levels -- and the calendar is a splendid idea. We may "borrow" it from you for use here at the Hedberg Public Library in Janesville, WI. We started incorporating early literacy tips into our storytimes a few years ago -- and putting those tips on our bookmarks. Now, we've created an early literacy based reading program that incorporates both reading and early lit. activities on the reading log -- and the parents have LOVED IT. I think they would really appreciate the calendar. Thanks for the GREAT idea!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124163029230555324.post-72864877373183762712013-03-11T19:11:26.066-05:002013-03-11T19:11:26.066-05:00Leona, please use whatever you like!
