Friday Freebie & Featured Blogger

July 27, 2012

Have you visited Lisa over at Learning is Something to Treasure? She has been featuring a blogger each Friday and this week it was my turn! Thank you, Lisa for doing this for me. I am looking forward to getting some advice on how to keep school at school this year so I can focus on my family while I am home.

As part of this feature, I am also sharing a freebie. Enjoy 🙂

Thank you to all who correctly guessed the team that matches this logo. It is the Minnesota Twins. The TC stands for Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul). I sent e-mails to the winners of the contest.

While I love my name now, growing up it was not always my favorite. I did not like being teased about it. “Tell me a story, Storie!” or “Is your middle name Book?” or “Is that your REAL name?” A name is a huge part of our identity. Each student in the classroom has a special name. It is our responsibility to learn AND respect each and every name. This includes how to spell and pronounce them. There are a handful of books written that celebrate the beauty, history, and magic behind names, but Your Name is a Song is a new book by Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow and Luisa Uribe that needs to be shared.⁣

After spending a day at school hearing her name being mispronounced, a little girl tells her mom that she doesn’t want to return. In response, the mother teaches her the musicality and magic behind a wide variety of names. Empowered with this new knowledge, the girl returns to school the next day ready to share what she has learned with her classmates and teacher.⁣

This book not only has a beautiful message, but the illustrations are gorgeous. I appreciate that the author has selected a large variety of names to celebrate, but has also taken the time to include a pronunciation guide and meaning behind each name. This would be a wonderful addition to your classroom, school, or home library.⁣

Be sure to check out Your Name is a Song by @authorjamilah and @lupencita . Thank you to @theinnovationpress for sharing this book with my family in exchange for an honest review. ⁣
