<p><em>A Purple Elephant </em>Excerpt:</p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">It was a beautiful morning on Ahway Island. Two children were just </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">finishing their lessons. Every morning their parents, who were also </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">their teachers, read books with them. Sometimes the books were </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">about imaginary things, like stories about dinosaurs who went to the </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">park to play on dinosaur swing sets. Sometimes the books were factual, </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">filled with explanations about how trains work or how ice cream is </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">made. The children liked both types of books equally.</span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">After they read with their parents, the children studied mathematics. </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">The children enjoyed using small blocks in different sizes to help them </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">add and subtract. Once math was finished, it was time for lunch and </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">then time to play outside.</span></p></blockquote>
