Welcome Newberry Academy families! We’re so glad you’ll be going out on adventure with Growly this summer.
Below you will find resources to help you dig deeper as you read. We have also posted a video read-aloud for each day, with Erin reading one chapter from Begin. (The book contains 35 chapters.) The videos are posted below on this page and available on demand, so you can watch whenever it is convenient for you.
