Today we made our vocab. papers for our folders.   We also discussed fictionalizing a true incident.  The author took the basic facts and added in extras to make up the whole story.  The children just loved knowing that parts of this story were true and May was really mailed to her Grandma Mary's home (so much for me not saying what the solution was on Day 1, huh?)  We talked about taking some true facts and adding in extra details to make up our own stories.  We had fun with it.
