I've just got to share the good stuff I read.

I love to read. I read every chance I get. If I read something really good, I want to share it with my friends and co-workers. I make copies of magazine articles, read aloud to my students, tell others about good books I'm reading, and keep a book with me at all times.

I love teaching and learning new things. I need a place to share some of the lessons and what my students and I learn. Since my teaching situation is different from everyone else's in my school, I would like to tell all of you in the blog-o-sphere about these great lessons.

Feel free to share what you are reading, teaching and learning with us in the comments.

Passing on reading traditions

Ava and David are four. The perfect age for make-believe play.
Stuffed animals, lego figures, costumes, and dolls start their imaginations rolling.

I bought some books about mice that were favorites of mine when I was teaching kindergarten and when my brothers and I made up adventures for our little stuffed animals.

Emily Arnold McCully’s books feature a large mouse family that have everyday adventures like going on picnics and sledding in the snow.



This cookbook has recipes that correlate to books Liam has read or may read.


For baby Kenton there are two Richard Scarry favorites.
Always so funny!


Picnic was a featured book for my ESL kindergartners.
I had a video and 3D cut paper activity that helped students understand the story.


Anatole is a classic story that I remember checking out from the Livingston Library when I was in elementary school.
Set in France, Anatole helps the cheese makers improve their cheese.


Finally, two new books for Liam.
He likes graphic novels and PB&J looked silly enough for a kid who likes to laugh.

Neil Gaiman writes for all ages. Some of his books are too scary for me but this one is funny. 
It reminds me of a Roal Dahl story. Strange, funny, odd, quirky. A good read. Hope he likes it.


I have been reading some mysteries and just finished reading my first Steven King  book.
More on those later.
