Something Happened in Our Town

Today's Read Aloud is a special book called Something Happened in Our Town.  This book can help parents talk to their children about what is happening in our country.  

It is about a girl named Emma and a boy named Josh who are in the same classroom. Listen carefully and imagine how you might feel if you were in their class. 

Please watch and I hope you have a good conversation about it.
