October 2013 with My Learning Comrades ~ Kids: Sean and Ryan

by Lucy S.

So we move into autumn now, and continue our reading, as always. Some months back, we decided to try to list what we've read together. Of course, we can't remember everything, but we remember quite a lot. We also listed some movies, those that we felt should be part of this list, though far more are left out. And now we just add to the list as we read more together.
