Reading

▸ Grab a book and try reading sitting on the stairs or turn off the lights and read with a flashlight.

▸ Read a book and think about what happens after the story ends. *Hint: this is just like how the epilogue in Nuts to You told us what happened to the squirrels after the book ended. What did the characters in your book do after the story ended? Was everyone happy? Draw what happens after the book ends. You can share your thoughts on Seesaw!
