It would be a good model to use in a classroom, not only for expression, but to let kids know that they can memorize something. We haven't asked them to memorize for so long in the classroom that I'm afraid they wouldn't know how to start.Donna Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738281869266957726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91636461349673530.post-86057346220745997562014-06-20T19:58:09.674-04:002014-06-20T19:58:09.674-04:00Little Brooke does a great job reciting Matilda.
