November Ideas
Share with parents a book that your children enjoy. Perhaps do a book talk or share an activity that goes along with the book. Remind parents of the many benefits of reading with their children. Some benefits are: children learn how to listen and treat books, children learn some of the components of a story such as character, plot, setting, relationships with your children improves as you are doing something fun together, and children will associate reading with good feelings!

March Ideas
Deep in the Forest Lesson Plan
"Deep in the Forest" is somewhat of a parody of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Be sure your children know the story of Goldilocks before introducing "Deep in the Forest". This is a fun book. Children will enjoy this twist in the story. Great opportunity for comparing and contrasting. Don't forget wordless books are very important and have a important role in promoting and developing language in preschool age children. This will be a favorite!
Wiki Idea-Create a e-book of your children telling their version of the story. Lots of language expression opportunities.
