The Best Reading List for Rainforests & Desert Enrichment
Our Reggio Emilia-inspired curriculum, Creatively Shine™, consists of fun, engaging monthly themes like “Spectacular Space” and “Creepy Crawlies.”
The theme for March is Rainforest and Desert Enrichment.
As a Reggio Emilia school, we must ensure selections are age-appropriate, ask questions before, after and during the book. Encourage your children to play/act out the plot. Bring the books to life and make reading fun.
