Let’s Get Acquainted

March 11, 2013

 
Latoya Reed from Flying Into First Grade is starting a weekly series of linky parties.  The first one is a let’s get acquainted party.  The idea is to share three things you like (or like to do) using your initials.  Here we go:
 
 
 
 
S is for Soccer
 
 
I was an athletic kid.  I grew up swimming, biking, dancing, running, playing basketball, volleyball, track & field, and more!  One sport I never played growing up was soccer.  One year I became friends with the mother of one of my students.  She talked me into joining her soccer team.  I have definitely improved since I first started and enjoy my weekly stress relief with the girls!
 
 
 
M is for Markers
 
 
 
 
Don’t judge – I have a slightly unhealthy obsession with using colorful markers.  I must have all of these markers & pens available and within reach at all times.  I use the highlighters for correcting math journals without bleeding through the pages.  Flair pens work best for correcting work and for checking off work on my clipboard.  Mr. Sketch markers are my go-to for anchor charts because the smell won’t give me a headache like other markers.  Sharpies are perfect for labeling everything.
 
 
 
B is for Books
 
When asked what my favorite genre is, I describe it as tragic fiction.  I love a gripping story about other people’s troubles and struggles in life.  It isn’t because I enjoy seeing them struggle, but rather it is to see how strong they are in overcoming these challenges.  My favorite author has to be Jodi Picoult.
 
 
Those are three things you just learned about me.  Head on over and get to know some of your fellow bloggers 🙂

    I LOVE Jodi Picoult! I actually was in the teacher's lounge today and saw a book (Change of Heart) laying beside the paper cutter. I almost grabbed it, but decided to wait and make sure it was left there to be grabbed!

    Don't Let the Teacher Stay Up Late

    I love Sharpies! My man doesn't understand why I feel the need to spend money on them, but I want every colour available. Glad to see someone else feels the same way.

    I love markers too! I am kind of protective of them in my classroom…not very good at sharing them with the kiddos 🙂

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, ⁣
dear friends, ⁣

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?⁣
