Today we read the story, "Thanksgiving On Plymouth Plantation." In the story, the grandchildren had a grandmother that could magically transport them to places. In this story, she brought them back almost 400 years ago to the First Thanksgiving. Here is what Claudia liked about the book:
"I liked that they got to eat with the Pilgrims and the Indians. That would be fun."

"I liked the part when Chester made a new friend at his new tree and her name was Cassy."

How To Help Your Child Read Their Nightly Little Books
This video is a wonderful example of the kind of help you can give to your child when you read the little books each night. This is similar to the same technique I do with the children during guided reading, as well. Enjoy!

Today we read a book about baby animals. It was a "non-fiction" book. It had interesting facts about ducklings, piglets, fawns, kittens, and more! This is what Ben thought about it:
"I liked the baby pigs because they were little and they growed up and ate out of the big bowl. And I have a toy at my house and it is a farm, so I like this part."
