Whoever You Are

I love children's books!  They speak volumes in just a few words.  Here is a book I enjoy reading and sharing with my students.  It has a wonderful message.  It's a great book to read at the beginning of the school year.  (School has been over for a week and a half and I'm already thinking about the next school year.  What's up with that?)  A good teacher never stops thinking about teaching.

Whoever You Are by Mem Fox

Here is the summary on the back cover of the book: 

"Every day all over the world, children are laughing and crying, playing and learning, eating and sleeping.  They may not look the same.  They may not speak the same language.  Their lives may be quite different.  But inside, they are just like you."

EXTENDING THE READING EXPERIENCE:

Enjoy a FREE copy of my comprehension question and answer sticks that go with the story. There is a fun "getting to know each other" activity included. Link below to teacherspayteachers.com.

Love Children's Books!

P.S. Stay well.

Last Week Of School!

It's the last week of school.  Time to wind down and enjoy the summer.  Nothing pressing to think about or do, just lots of hugs and best wishes to the teachers, students, and of course to all of you.  Hugs and best wishes to each and everyone of you!   Enjoy your summer and make wonderful memories.

If you need some extra help filling in the gaps with something fun to do during the last week of school, perhaps you might be interested in looking at my latest product in my Teachers Pay Teachers store.

Have Fun in the Sun!

End of the School Year!

Happy - Sad as the school year ends!  Mixed emotions - both for the students and the staff member that is leaving.
Here is an inspirational thought to everyone that works with children.

UNIQUE IN YOUR EYES

Here is a thank-you from all the ordinary children you have taught -

because for you none of us was ordinary.

You told us that each of us was utterly unique - 

that no one quite like us had existed since time began.

That each of us was an absolute necessity in the whole design -

a knot of gold, a flash of crimson, a dazzle of peacock, a gentleness of green.

That we should be proud to be ourselves.

And so we are.

And walk through the world with a firmer step - because of you.

By Pam Brown

Thank you for a wonderful school year!

Father's Day

What is a Dad?

A dad is someone who wants to catch you before you fall

but instead picks you up, brushes you off, and lets you try again.

A dad is someone who wants to keep you from making mistakes

but instead lets you find your own way,

even though his heart breaks in silence when you get hurt.

A dad is someone who holds you when you cry,

scolds you when you break the rules,

shines with pride when you succeed,

and has faith in you even when you fail . . .
