Dear parents, coming Wednesday from 14,30 we have again a Read & Discover event. We'll read from the book "Follow your heart" (see trailer below) and then we'll have a wonderful activity about feelings. The struggle with feeling different from everyone else is universal. This lesson is presented to illustrate the positive aspects of being unique. Using humorous aliens and silly stories, children are also presented with the subject of peer pressure and how it can be overcome. Please share with your friends and join us! The event is free of charge.
