Book Study: Worksheets Don’t Grow Dendrites: Chapter 17

We are back to Mrs. Wills blog for Chapter 17 which is about visualization…which I do. Sometimes. There are two books that come to mind when I think of using visualization in my room. The language and the illustrations in both books are so vivid and really jump off the page. The Storm Book is […]
