By the second week, kids may begin to reenact the storyof <strong>Hannah</strong> without prompting. See how kids incorporate their own ideas intoa reenactment. Notice <strong>and</strong> comment if kids bring elements of the story intotheir play. Your playing sounds like our story about <strong>Hannah</strong>.
