Today we began with a brainstorming activity:

1.  List as many activities that you do on a daily basis.
2.  Using your list of activities that you brainstormed, choose several of them and create a "wish" for each activity.
     Eg.  I wish my lunchbox would keep my pizza warm until lunch
             I wish I could see through the rain in my glasses
