Monday with Men

We enjoyed reading with the special men in our lives. Thank you to all who stepped in and read with classmates. This project was planned by our Cleveland State intern, Mrs. Yakovets. We realize that some could not take the time off from work. We  loved having brothers, uncles, cousin and classmates' dads who were able to spend 30 minutes reading a book with us.
