them to draw connections between Lizzie and themselves.

computer

happy!!!

Picture Cards
If you feel like your kids need some picture reinforcement
during the lesson, which some of mine did, you can print these
pics, cut them out and use hold them up when you feel its
appropriate to help them stay engaged and on the same
wave-length as you!
