This week our Five in a Row book was, Three Names
Monday: Â Did our first read through. Â We talked about the title and the cover illustration and what we thought the book might be about from those to items. Â We talked a bit about prairies and where they are found around the world.
Tuesday: Â We made baked potatoes with butter for lunch, just like in the story
Thursday: Â We planned to learn how to play marbles, however due to vacation prep we didn’t get to it. Â I may take along a bag of marbles on vacation. Â Here is a good explanation of how to play.
