Thank you to our community partners for creating special guest read aloud videos to celebrate the 5th annual Asian Pacific American Read-In Week! We are grateful to be able to highlight literature by and about Asian Pacific Americans and contribute to distance learning.
STUDENTS! Please enjoy the videos below from some awesome Oaklanders and celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month! Make sure to watch videos with supervision.
