Currently, June

June 2, 2015

I need a little background noise in my day, so I tend to turn on the country music station on the TV.  Every once in awhile, both of my kids will stop playing to dance.  
In the Pacific NW, our weather has a mind of its own.  We had some incredibly sunny, warm days last week.  That meant we had a lot of outdoor time.  Unfortunately, the sunscreen that worked last summer for my daughter has now caused her to break out….twice!  Ugh!!!  I’m happy for a few cooler days to let her skin calm down while we test out new sunscreen.
My mom recommended this book to me.  It was a free Kindle download, so I thought, why not?  I don’t know if it was my Mommy Brain or a head cold, but I DID NOT see several of the plot twists headed my way.  This meant it was a page turner! 
I need clarity.  There’s a big cloud hanging over my head about what will happen during the next school year and I wish there was a big arrow in the sky pointing me in the right direction.
My son will be ONE this month.  That means I need to get my ducks in a row and get his birthday party planned!
This summer we don’t have a lot planned.  I will be taking the kids to visit family and one of our adventures will be going to Silverwood (amusement/water park) in Idaho.  Once my son is one, he can finally go on an overnight adventure to my in-laws with my daughter.  Other than that, I will have a ton of design decisions to make for our new home, which will be finished (fingers crossed) this fall.
What are you up to this month?  Head over to Farley’s blog to check out the linky!  Farley has also set up a way to help the Wimberley Adoption Group and Rescue.  There are many animals who are being housed there during the flood.  If you can help, head on over!

    Oh I'm going to have to look up that book!

    I have a student this year named Storie and I had never seen it before (I have known her since she was a 1st grader because I was intrigued by her name). It's super fun that I found someone else with the name too.

    How funny: I worked at Silverwood one summer MANY years ago when I stayed with my eldest sister, during college break. What a small world! Have fun! Carol's Teaching Garden

If you’re starting 2021 by making resolutions and setting goals with your students, I suggest sharing Squirrel’s New Year’s Resolution by Pat Miller. This book follows Squirrel around the forest as she learns what a resolution is and helps her friends get started on theirs. Swipe to see a kid craft you can pair with this story. I also have comprehension and vocabulary activities for this book. Just follow the link in my bio for more information.⁣

Winter is officially here! Have you had snow yet w Winter is officially here! Have you had snow yet where you live? We haven’t, but my kids are anxiously waiting. While we wait, it’s been fun to revisit our favorite snow day memories while reading Ten Ways to Hear Snow.⁣

In this story, Lina wakes up to a blanket of snow outside,  but she is supposed to help her grandma cook that day. Since Sitta is losing her eyesight, Lina rushes to bundle up and get over to her home. Lina wants to make sure her grandma is okay and knows about the snow outside. On the way, Lina explores the city muffled by snow and discovers ten different ways to hear snow. ❄️⁣

During one of the worst snow storms of the year, a little girl and her family settle in for the night. They build a fort by the fire and enjoy a picnic-style dinner. Later that night, the little girl makes a wish on her snow globe. The next morning the family wakes up to a winter wonderland outside. ⁣

“What if, ⁣

EVERYONE comes out to play?”⁣

Snow Globe Wishes has a great message about slowing down, enjoying the simple things, and bringing a community together. It would be perfect to share while getting cozy on cold, winter day!⁣

Whether you’re shopping for the holidays, a birthday, or celebrating a milestone, books make great gifts. If you still need convincing (or justifying your recent book purchases 😉), I recently shared 10 reasons why books make the best gifts on my blog. Follow the link in my bio.

In this latest book, Danny’s headed to the water park with his family. Throughout the day, he’s faced with a lot of important decisions to make. Will he be fair and kind, show empathy towards others, keep himself safe, and take responsibility for his actions? That’s up to the reader to help Danny decide! ⁣

Growing up, I loved reading choose-your-own-adventure books because it was so much fun getting to decide how the story ended. Now my own kids get to experience that same reading magic with these Power to Choose books from Ganit and Adir Levy. My kids are bound and determined to read every single one of the 9 different endings.⁣

Have you read any of the Danny or Darla books yet? If so, do you have a favorite?⁣
