Alice got a new set of books about Halloween that she really wanted to read today. For our pre-reading discussion, we talked about Halloween and what usually happens on Halloween day. We looked at the covers and titles of each of the books we were going to read ad made predictions about what the stories would be about. The first book Alice read was an "Amelia Bedelia" book. This is a challenging choice for her because the premise of these books is that Amelia takes everything literally which can often cause issues. It takes a certain amount of American cultural knowledge to understand the jokes. Alice did an amazing job! We also read a book about baking Halloween cookies.
