by DarlaAugust 27, 2011

After looking at some of the ideas on Life of the Gilbert Gang, I decided to look for a few of my own.  Then I overheard  Samuel say he hated school work.  Truly I don’t think he hates the things that he is doing but rather he isn’t making connections between what he is studying [...]
