TieDyeDude You could drive 6-8 hours to the Mesa on the Western slope. The Aspens are beautiful when they change, but it doesn't last long 13mo

TheBookgeekFrau @TieDyeDude I wish we had that kind of time 😄 We don't have to go too far for some good foliage, but none of it is out my kitchen window like it used to be 13mo

Eggs But really nice snow-covered mountains 🏔️ 👏🏻 13mo

TheBookgeekFrau @Eggs Yes. And as soon as all the cottonwood leaves fall, I'll be able to see it from my kitchen window 😍 13mo

Welp, it's official! Moxie and I now live in TN 😱

We spent the weekend unpacking (books first of course!) and getting settled in our new apartment. Mox was pretty freaked at first but she's getting back to her sweet self now that she realizes our stuff came too 😂

Tennessee | Deborah Kent

After being in NYC for almost 9 (!!!) years, I just want to be closer to my family on a regular basis. So in a crazy unexpected twist of a next chapter for me, I'm in the process of building a home in Eastern Tennessee (on a plot of land near my mom) and am planning to move down this summer. It'll be an adjustment for sure, but I'm ready to slow things down, have some peace and quiet, and see the stars at night.

Any TN littens out there? 😆

SRWCF Congratulations! Sounds like a lovely thing to do. 3y

DivineDiana Best wishes on your new chapter! 👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻 3y

RamsFan1963 What part of TN? I used to live in the Bristol/Kingsport/Johnson City area, before moving to WV 3y

lynneamch Welcome back! I've been visiting NYC this week and leave tomorrow. I live between Knoxville and Chattanooga. Go Vols! 3y

TiminCalifornia How nice! I lived in Johnson City as a kid. Love the blue ridge mts. 3y

Scochrane26 I‘m not in TN but only a few hours away in central KY. 3y

LeahBergen Congratulations! 🎉 3y

Megabooks Not currently, but I lived in Knoxville for 5 years. Lovely area! So happy for you! (edited) 3y

Blueroseis Not from TN but I was born and lived in Bristol UK. 3y

Bookzombie Congratulations!! 3y

plemmdog Nashville, but grew up near Asheville, prefer East TN to Middle for sure. Welcome! 3y

marleed Congratulations on your upcoming move! What a huge decision. Four years ago I moved closer to family, as well. As much as I loved my big life of the previous 5 years (and continue to love the memories and experiences), I‘ve never regretted a moment of the decision to return to family. (edited) 3y

Florida (a True Book: My United States) (Library) | Tamra B Orr

pick

This NF read is a great research tool for students to learn more about their state. Allowing kids to independently read this can cause curiosity to arise about other states as well. UDL 8.1: this book can benefit in projects for students by supplying information and pictures clearly. ESOL #4 can be used, since the students have prior knowledge about Florida. The students can write about something they didn‘t know. #ucflae3414su19

Macker11 I couldn‘t find a resource directly related to this book but I did find this interactive workbook that would be fun for students to fill out! https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Florida-People-Economy-Government-In... it might be a great idea to have each student do a different state and then the workbook can be added to the classroom library! 5y

rretzler Welcome to Litsy!📖 5y

DawnS I kind of want to read this and see if I learn anything new about our state. Also, I like the idea you shared about having everyone in the class do a different state, sounds like it would tie in social studies too! 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Welcome to Litsy!! 5y

DrSpalding Interactive notebooks are an excellent idea! You could truly do a lot with this type of nonfiction. In fourth grade, social studies standards center around Florida! 5y

umbrellagirl @julesG Gilbert Heublein was an American of German descent so he might have been inspired by German architecture. 7y

Purple Mountain Majesties: The Story of Katharine Lee Bates and America the Beautiful | Barbara Younger, Stacey Schuett

pick

This NF read almost gives the vibe of Fantasy when looking at the illustrations but it provides factual information about Katherine Lee Bates and "America the Beautiful" in a nice narrative tone.

Here is a great resource from the author for using it in the classroom:

This painting is Beach Cousins by Lea Colie Wight. It can be found in the book To The Shore Once More Vol II by Frank Finale. I have both volumes of these books about the Jersey shore. Neither book is listed here. Sadly no Jersey shore for me this summer. Boo!

Cinfhen Love the Jersey Shore #nostalgia great drawing 7y
