I'm so excited to have received the Blog on Fire Award! Thank you Denise from Sunny Days in Second Grade. I have to tell you seven interesting things about myself because of this honor.

Retelling stories is a skill that not all children possess naturally. Some like to retell every single detail, while others leave out important information to the story.
