Our 1st graders had a blast learning how to pick their "Just Right Books"! 📚

They cozied up in tents with reading buddies right in the library after Mrs. Smith read "Goldie Socks and the Three Librarians." It was the perfect way to try out their book choices and practice finding stories that fit them just right.

Happy reading, Terriers! 🌟📖 #JustRightBooks #1stGradeReaders #LibraryAdventures #ReadingIsFun
