Skittles: Taste the Rainbow

April 16, 2013

 
The fabulous Latoya from Flying Into First is back with another weekly edition of the Let’s Get Acquainted Party.  Click on the image above (or click here) to learn more about this linky party.
 
 
This week’s theme is the Skittles Game
 
Here is the code:
Red– Favorite Ice Cream Flavor
Vanilla is good, but I am a sucker for Tillamook Mudslide or Chocolate and Peanut Butter.  Mmm….
 
 
Orange– Favorite Memory from College
I have scrapbooks galore of memories from college.  I would have to say that meeting my husband in college would have to top the list, though.  I can’t believe 15 years have gone by since we first met…crazy!!  Here he is reading to our little girl šŸ™‚
 
 
 
 
Yellow– Favorite Sports Team
It’s not my local team, but my hubby converted me to a Twins fan years ago and I haven’t looked back since.
 
 
 
Green– Favorite Fast Food Place
I don’t stop for fast food very often, but when I do, I would rather go to Subway.  There used to be a local sandwich shop in town that had a better sub sandwich, but they have since gone out of business, so Subway will have to do.
 
 
 
Purple– Wild Card (tell anything about yourself)
(source: unknown)
If I had the time (and energy) to start a new hobby, I would love to learn to make quilts.  I love the variety of patterns and fabrics used to make them and I just wish I was talented enough to know how to make one myself.  Baby girl has one similar to the one in the picture above.

    This is such a fun linky! I have loved learning about other bloggers. I would love to have you come by and link up with my latest linky. It’s all about the dollar. Anything you love, make, sell, find, or buy that is a dollar. It is really fun!

I’m bored!⁣ ⁣ How many times a day do you he I’m bored!⁣
⁣
How many times a day do you hear that? In a world where kids are constantly going from one activity to the next, it can be hard for some kids to know what to do when they DO have some down time. But guess what? Creativity and imagination come alive when kids are bored. And if that creativity doesn’t come naturally, grab a book to help ignite that spark. I just put together a list of books to help inspire creativity and have shared it on my blog. Just follow the link in my bio or send me a DM for more info.⁣
Even though National Library Week is almost over, Even though National Library Week is almost over, it’s not too late to celebrate because April is also School Library Month. I want to share a book that celebrates the magic of a reader falling in love with books thanks to a little help from a school librarian.⁣
⁣
The new school library is finally open. Everyone in Mr. Tiffin’s class is excited...everyone except Jake. He is a slow and careful reader and often feels left behind on library day. When the new librarian notices that Jake shows more interest in the wooden bookshelves than the books, Librarian Beck introduces Jake to a book about woodworking. Suddenly, Jake has something he wants to read and checks it out over and over again.⁣
⁣
But, when Librarian Beck announces that books must be returned for the summer, Jake realizes he isn’t ready to say goodbye to the book. As he reads about woodworking again, he has the perfect gift idea for the librarian who changed his entire outlook on books and reading. And it’s one that will keep kids reading all summer long.⁣

Do you have any little free libraries in your area or at your school? ⁣

Roland lives a quiet life doing the things he love Roland lives a quiet life doing the things he loves, but it can get lonely. While walking in the forest, he finds a friend. Milton might only be a pinecone, but to Roland, he’s the perfect companion for drawing, listening to music, and drinking tea. Suddenly, life isn’t so lonely.⁣
⁣
Not long after, Roland sees posters all over the forest. Someone is looking for their lost pinecone. That’s when he realizes that his new best friend already belongs to someone else. Will losing his new best friend send Roland back to his lonely days, or will this open the door for a new friendship to blossom?⁣
⁣
This beautifully illustrated book shares an important message about friends, both real and imaginary. Readers will root for Roland as he endures loneliness, joy, sadness, compassion, empathy, and more. Swipe to take a peek inside this book.⁣
⁣
Thank you to @peachtreepublishing for sharing this book with my family! My kids had so much fun creating a few new forest friends that were inspired by Milton. Check out my stories to see their creations.⁣

Be Kind⁣ ⁣ We hear, read, and say those words Be Kind⁣
⁣
We hear, read, and say those words all the time, but what does it really mean to be kind? Do our kids really get it? When our words and actions aren’t getting the message across clearly, books can help.⁣
⁣
🪁 Kindness is a Kite String uses rhyming text, similes, and metaphors to show how one small act of kindness can start a ripple effect that quickly spreads through a community. ā€œKindness is contagious. Once you catch it...pass it on!ā€ ⁣
⁣
I love that this book includes simple ways that kids can show kindness in their everyday lives. The discussion tips that you can use before, during, and after the story are also an added bonus. Swipe to take a peek inside this book or check out my stories to learn more! Thank you to @cardinalrulepress @schaubwrites and @clairelaforte for sharing this book with my family.ā¤ļøā£

A Poem in Your Pocket is a great story to share as A Poem in Your Pocket is a great story to share as you kick-off National Poetry Month! ⁣
⁣
When Mr. Tiffin announces that an author will visit the class for Poem in Your Pocket Day, the kids are excited. Since Elinor always gets the best grades, everyone is sure she will have the best poem to share. ⁣
⁣
All through April, the students read poetry books and learn poems by heart. Mr. Tiffin introduces similes and metaphors along with haikus and concrete poems. When it’s time to start writing poems, everyone dives write in....everyone except Elinor. The pressure to write the perfect poem keeps her from writing anything at all. ⁣
⁣
Can Elinor let go of perfection and start getting creative? Or will she be the only student without a poem to share when the author finally arrives?⁣
⁣
What are some of your favorite poetry books for kids?⁣
