We started talking about my other favorite trait “Word Choice” this week! We read an amazing story in Read Aloud that portrayed great WORD CHOICE…the can do kids felt like they were on the RAFT the whole time! The author wrote so well, that I did not even show them the pics…and they created VIVID mental images! I really recommend this book!

Leading Off With a Hit

They did a fabulous job, so I wanted to share one with you…

Favorite Rain Forest Facts
Can Do Kids LOVE technology and using the computers… they had an amazing time learning how to use kid safe search engines to get facts, save pics and print them. This week we learned how to use Drawing For Kids… to illustrate one of their fav. Rainforest Facts! We hope you enjoy our mini show and learn something new!!!
