Check out this special visitor at Kenwood Elementary School -- a donkey!
First grade students read the book, ‘Biblioburro,’ earlier this fall. As the story explains, a ‘biblioburro,’ is a donkey that brings books to people who live in remote areas – similar to a mobile library. First graders also learned about other ways that people in different countries gain access to books and literacy if a library is not available.
Kenwood staff coordinated the donkey visit with Kent's Feed Barn in Cedarville. Students were able to ask questions, pet the donkey and pick out a book to take home with them. What a great way to end the week!
