After reading the progressive phrase 3 times, we got to work on the comprehension questions. My little readers also drew a picture to show me what they know about the phrase. Drawing a picture is such an effective way to have kids tell you about a story.

We will be back! We have desperately missed doing projects and sharing them with you guys! I know I have said several times that we will be back to doing them and sharing them again but, life happens and we have had a very rough year. Please share any ideas you would like to see and we will make it happen when we can get rolling again! Posted by Stephanie Shields.

Saturday, December 8, 2012. We decided to Christmas right this year. Last year we had just moved in and we did a little to feel the spirit, but we were still unpacking and setting one more thing up sounded just annoying. This year we got out all of our decorations and spent a few days setting up for the Olly Jolly Holliday. We will need a bigger fake tree soon. Posted by Poetry of Life. Saturday, December 1, 2012.
