It's Year 10!! #cyperPD

It's been a loooong last few months of school this year.

I'm looking forward to saying goodbye. Closing this short chapter and moving forward.

Hello Summer!

Time to just be in the moment and to read what I want without so many distractions of having to be online. I know there is so much more going on in the world right now. But we need to stay strong together. To learn and grow. To help our country move forward. To change. To be the change. Books can help us on that journey ...

Our #cyberPD group is back yet again for a summer of reading and learning together. The book selected is always one of my favorite PD books that opens the door to conversations to help me grow as a person and educator. Here are the books we have read together over the last nine years:

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted at the Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters. I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true. Even if they don't fully understand it today. In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them. However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war. My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-i...

Picture Books I Love Right Now! #pb10for10

Check out other favorite Picture Book Lists #pb10for10 ______________________________________________________________ As we finish up our summer #cyberPD conversations, I'm quickly reminded that August is right around the corner and I need to start thinking about my picture book list to share. Ten books I love. Ten books I want to share. Ten books that I can't live without in my classroom. Ten books. I love coming up with lists of picture books I adore for various reasons. However, this year I came up with the most brilliant idea! (Well, at least I thought it was brilliant!) Here are the picture books I can't live without ... because these are the LAST 10(+3) picture books I most recently purchased! ______________________________________________________________ 1.

{bedtime stories} 2/31 #sol16

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted at the Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! _________________________________________________________ "Time to head upstairs. PJs on and let's brush teeth!" My very favorite time of the day is bedtime with the girls. I hurry and hustle and bustle them along, so that we have plenty of time to settle into a bedtime story or two (or more like three). Each girl picks out a book and then one usually snags a third. "Mommy, this is one that you want to read. Right?" When the girls are completely ready for bed, we meet in my bedroom to snuggle in the big bed. I'm in the middle, sandwiched between the two girls. Heads resting close by, slowly slithering closer, they each nestle on my shoulder to get a closer look at every ...
