PLAN+-+Brainstorm+Matrix

My 7-year old and I will be volunteering at Tres Americas bookstore in Albany Park doing Saturday read-alouds in **Spanish** and art projects/literacy activites based on the themes of the books. We will do outreach to local schools and community groups to let families know about this opportunity so they can come with their children.
