Description
Each Village Table lesson includes one circle time and four additional books associated with learning activities. These books are used to enhance the lesson and encourage reading, but are not required. Teachers can use these books to further promote Village Table learning objectives, while building their classroom library.
All 50 books can be purchased as a full set (best value!) or by the lesson.
