The Peep: Meaningful Minutes with the Wintonbury Community Wintonbury Early Childhood Magnet School

There are so many books out there!  How do you know if the one you've chosen is a good one to read to your child?  Join teacher Mary Munson for information about what to look for in a book and get a list of books that she recommends for young children.

Join teacher Melissa Sutton for information about how to help your child meet your expectations in the area of transitions.

Last school year, we did three episodes on how you might choose to handle it when your child does not meet your expectations.  In this episode, Mrs. Sutton discusses what you can do to make it more likely that your child will meet your expectations in the first place.
