Reading
This week we read
Chrysanthemum and
completed an activity called
“Don’t Wrinkle Hearts.” Every
time someone in the story
made fun of
Chrysanthemum’s name, we
folded our paper heart. After
completing the story, we
tried to straighten out our
heart. We discussed how we
feel when someone hurts our
feelings and how it leaves a
wrinkle on our heart.
