Day 10: reindeer

In the picture, you can see my mother's 1958 Night Before Christmas “magic singing book“. No idea what they were really called in English, but it looks like the original patent is from the US. There's a 45 rpm record engraved into the book's hard front cover. We were only allowed to play it very occasionally, to avoid damaging the record-player's needle.

🎄 Tagged. We used to read it to my children every year on Christmas Eve. At some point they got too old and busy and we don‘t do this anymore. 😔
🎅🏼 Santa is my favorite! In our house, there remain gifts from Santa under the tree because we believe. Santa exists in each of us as we do good deeds for others, especially this time of year. There really is magic in Christmas. ❤️

Thanks for the tag @EadieB !

Looking forward to a cosy, quiet day after Christmas Eve festivities. I ate my weight in ravioli and 7 fishes. I‘m cheating with my #publicdomain pick for #booked2019 just cause I can. Merry merry, Happy happy.

alisiakae Sounds delicious! 4y

MicheleinPhilly @Cinfhen I realized I only have a week left and started to panic. Just downloaded Kindred graphic novel for my last prompt. 🤓 4y
MicheleinPhilly @eanderson Whenever someone asks my aunt, “May I bring a friend, co-worker, significant other? Will there be enough food?” she just laughs like, “Are you new here?” 4y

MicheleinPhilly @Bookzombie How many prompts do you have left? 4y
Bookzombie 2 and a half. I‘m in the middle of one. Then have public domain and Muslim author or main character. If I don‘t let time get away from me, I should be okay. I also need to post several that I have completed. Procrastinating is kind of my thing. 😂 4y

I have the book (gifted to me from my mom many years ago) and we read it every year. This year I also listened to this audiobook edition, read by the fabulous Meryl Strep and including about 40 minutes worth of holiday music.

This P by Clement Moore is a great way to introduce poems especially if it is around the holidays. I would implement this as a RA or CR in my classroom. The UDL 2.2 in order to better clarify how to read this poem fluently. The ESOL strategy I would focus on is 8 to go along with the UDL in understanding how to read a poem with the pauses and flow. #UCFLAE3414F19
