Week 24

This week we talked a lot about problems and solutions in different stories. Today we read a story called "Prudy's Problem and How She Solved It." We worked together to pick out Prudy's problem and brainstormed possible solutions to her huge problem. The kids all had some great ideas, I told them that some of their ideas were better than the author's!
