Raise your hand if you tend to worry.🙋🏼‍♀️ ⁣
I know I’m not alone, and chances are there are several worriers in your classroom, too! I want to share a book that will help kids see that it’s okay to have worries, and that it’s also important to talk about them with people we trust.⁣

This story follows Pig, an incredibly kind and fabulously fun friend to all. But Pig has a secret he doesn’t share with his friends - he is a tremendous worrier! When Pig decides to throw a party, he is excited and jumps right into planning. Everything is on track until he is consumed with everything that could possibly go wrong. Suddenly, Pig tells everyone that he is sick and cancels the party. Fortunately, Mouse steps up to help Pig through it all and helps him see he isn’t alone with his worries.⁣

Kids are busier than ever! Between going to school

Kids are busier than ever! Between going to school, rushing to after school activities, and family commitments, there’s not a lot of downtime. It can be so hard for kids to slow down and just enjoy the moment. Sound familiar? If you’re ready to help introduce mindfulness to your kids and share why it is so important, I have a book for you!⁣
⁣
The Lemonade Hurricane follows Emma and her little brother, Henry. Emma Both of them have busy and full days. While Emma knows how to stop and rest, Henry is the opposite. He likes to run, wrestle, roar, and drink lemonade. So Emma calls him The Lemonade Hurricane. Despite her best efforts to stay out of the path of the hurricane, it doesn’t always work. So, Emma develops a new plan to introduce a simple breathing technique to help Henry learn to calm down. But, can she convince Henry to slow down long enough to try it?⁣
⁣
This book not only introduces mindfulness and meditation through the context of a story, but the author has also included a lot of tips for how to get started. Have you read this one yet?⁣

Tattling is a common problem in the classroom. Man

Tattling is a common problem in the classroom. Many kids tattle because they just need someone else to realize that their peers aren’t following classroom rules and expectations. So, how can we help students identify which problems can be solved on their own, which can be ignored, and which need adult intervention? I like to use picture books (of course 😉). One of the best I have found is A Bad Case of Tattle Tongue by Julia Cook. ⁣
⁣
⁣
My favorite activity to pair with this book is a tattle tongue writing craft. There’s something about the rolled-up tongue that really helps students remember the message of the story long after the last page has been read. You can find this craft along with several other activities to pair with this book in my TpT store. Follow the link in my bio or send me a DM for more info.⁣

⁣
If you need more than one book to read about tattling, you can also try Don’t Squeal Unless It’s a Big Deal or Miles McHale, Tattletale. ⁣

What comes to mind when you hear ‘Run Like a Gir

What comes to mind when you hear ‘Run Like a Girl’? If you picture strong, female athletes pushing limits and breaking barriers, this book is for you!⁣
⁣
This book introduces you to 50 female athletes from around the globe, each with a different story to tell. There are a handful of athletes you’re probably familiar with: Simone Biles, Serena Williams, Bethany Hamilton, Misty Copeland, etc. But get ready to be inspired by athletes whose stories are finally given the attention they deserve! ⁣
⁣
A big thank you to @gmcpublications and @daniellebrownmbe for sharing this book with my family. We can’t wait to continue learning more about these dynamic women!⁣

I may have an extraordinarily large picture book collection at home, but I still enjoy our regular library visits. I love that it gives us the opportunity to try before we buy. Plus, I get to share my love of books and reading with my own kids, the same way my mom did for me when I was little. So, here’s a picture of our most recent library haul. Do you spy any favorites in this stack?

The beginning of the year can be a very exciting time for many kids as they meet new classmates and develop stronger bonds with friends. But as you look around your classroom, are your kids really being seen? Or do you have some students who seem to become invisible to everyone else?⁣
⁣
The Invisible Boy follows a boy named Brian who never seems to get noticed or included in groups, games, or birthday parties. But when a new boy named Justin arrives, Brian is the first to make him feel welcome. When Justin and Brian team up for a group project, Brian begins to shine in ways no one in the class expected!⁣
⁣
One of my favorite activities to pair with this book is a directed drawing. By adding a little bit of tissue paper (or wax paper) over the drawing, your students can truly capture the mood of the story. Swipe to take a peek at this activity along with other resources included in my book companion for The Invisible Boy. Follow the link in my bio or send me a DM for more information.⁣

Do you read The Invisible Boy to your class each year?⁣
