What Grade Ones said: I really like Dr. Seuss books. They are so funny. I learned to match my pictures to my words. I learned that you have to be very quiet when someone is recording. I learned how to make pictures with the computer. It was hard! I learned that you need to do a rough copy before you can do your work"in good" I learned that you have to make your pictures colourful. I learned how to make a shape by dabbing the paintbrush. I laughed at the silly animals in Animals Should Definitely Not Wear Clothing. I learned about telling time. I learned how to spell some new words. I learned that your voice is really loud if you stand too close to the microphone. My favourite book was Witch, Witch because the pictures are so cool. I learned how to make rhymes. I made a connection with It Looked Like Spilt Milk. It reminded me of when I look at the clouds in the summer.
