Kiwi Crate Month 1 Review

What We’re Reading in Kindergarten
Did you know chapter books with little to no illustrations can be enjoyed by even our youngest listeners? It's true! With my first kindergartener, I was a tad intimidated to dive into a book bigger than the slew of picture stories we had amassing on our bookshelf.

It… Continue reading Against the Grain of Impatience: Ephesians 4:29-32
