These girls really like a lot of the things they had already passed off
and want to keep playing them. I give them stickers for anything in the
book they can play from memory. They thought this only included things
they had been assigned for the week. They asked me if they could
memorize things from earlier in the book that they had already past off
and I told them yes. They were very happy with that answer. I think they
just hated to not be able to play the old things any more. I think it's
nice that they still want to play them and I want to encourage that. I
told them they can always go back and play things from before and
memorize them if they like, but we still do want to move forward too!
