Welcome to Litsy!

#wondrouswednesday

1. I like to walk in the mornings & evenings when the weather is crisp & cool, go to the various pumpkin/corn maze farms, eat crisp fall apples, roast marshmallows, & look at the fall leaves. And of course, #HHS!

2. Weary

3. Network Effect & The Secret Lives of Planets

We got a rare day of sunshine before more snow tomorrow! Taking full advantage.

I haven't participated in one of these for a while but since both @jenniferw88 & @catsandbooks tagged me this morning, I decided to jump in!

I'm all about apples in the fall! I work at an orchard, but even growing up I always loved apples. My birthday is in October & I don't like pumpkin-flavored anything, so I've always embraced the apple side! 😂 So -

-Apple Orchard
-Stew
-Cinnamon Dolce
-Bonfires
-Apple Pie

These poems had great rhythm, were easy to follow, easily relatable, and touching. It was heartwarming, and I would also use this book at a time where maybe a family unit is being taught.

I would use this in my classroom because it is a collection of heartwarming poems about the importance of family and family tradition.

“He was missing a finger, just like you, Peter added“

“He was missing a finger, just like you, peter added“

I would use this in my classroom to show the strength in family or people you love.

This was a very enjoyable heartfelt poetry book. The book has a good rhythm and is very understandable for children. I feel that children can relate to this book and be engaged in it.

“A house beside an orchard at the edge of a small town, a bench beneath an apple tree, an old barn falling down.”

I think children would enjoy this because it has connection to family and they can relate. Also apple picking and apple sauce making is something children may find interest in.

Applesauce Weather by Helen Frost published in 2016 refers to the best time of year to pick apples and make applesauce. It‘s so cute!

I love fall: weather,colors, traveling and celebrating my marriage. ❤️

I loved this book by one of my favorite novel-in-verse authors. This is a story of remembering and sharing memories after losing someone special. The story is told from four perspectives, each poem is identified by the name of the character telling that particular part. ❤️

The image is from the app Bookout. While many of the features included are found here in Litsy and Goodreads, I like Bookout for its lack of social-ness and these graphics😊

I was introduced to Helen Frost's novels in verse about five years ago. So glad for this find for a slightly younger audience than I am used to for Frost. Can't wait to read this with my daughter.

A lovely book told in verse about grief, family, and stories.
