One of the children read the Great Wolf & Woodsman. They liked the wolf in the house and cutting bricks.
Another child read More for for me by Cindy Meltzer Klentez. Here is what this child told me about it:
Sister I want more pushes the bowl I want more. Wants alot more. Crying washed dishes with big sister. Scoops out beans. Jumped out of bed got dressed. More on plate. Wanted more toast. His sister sneaking toast. Then wanting more.
Also I had a couple of children doing the USA flag-floor puzzle. They liked looking for animals on it. They finished putting it together; even if 2 pieces were missing. They liked doing puzzles.
