South Mountain Community College Storytellers, Carly Davis and Gloria Scheeland told several animal stories to our 2nd graders! They also had a fantastic way of breaking down the parts of a story for our students to easily remember.
Our Cougar Reader Leaders were here to get ideas on how to make story time more interesting.
