• This is a good week to make connections between real life and the books we read – especially with the books The Little Engine the Could and Thunder Cake.

You can write about what you think you can do (after reading the Little Engine that Could) or you could creative write about the things you can think following the Dr. Seuss book.  Lastly, you could write about what you do in a Thunderstorm, after you read Thunder Cake.
