What is my place?

We are learning about relationships and who we have them with.

We linked relationships by the people who wrote them or who people had the relationships with. Some were on there own and we couldn't link them. We talked about how we could link them if we did more pictures or if people who were away came back and did one too.

We can find someone to play with.
