If you haven't heard me mention this before, I'll say it again, "I LOVE our new reading curriculum!"  This is our first year to use and and the shared reading has been really fun to incorporate all kinds of lessons and crafts!  The pictures below are from when we had a shared reading book about giraffes.  Of course, we HAD to make a cute craft and write about giraffes!
