March 22, 2010
Children’s literature is a wonderful way to provide instruction to young children on a wide variety of topics. Recently the Onaga Elementary Counseling and Guidance program was given several books written for children in grades K-5 and in some cases through grade 8 on different exceptionalities in physical abilities, learning styles, living situations, etc. These books are available through the counselor, Debbie Berges, for check out to read with your children at home. The following is a list of the recent donations; however, there are many other books available in the Guidance office for parents.
