Litsy

I'm completely gobsmacked, @AmyG! An early birthday surprise! Matt insisted I open everything, so I did. 😍 The butterfly bag, journal, and pen will remind me that no matter how f-ed up this country is, we are still free. 🦋 And the books!!! All of different genres, too! And ones on my never-ending TBR! You've ensured that I'll be busy. 🤣

I can't believe I'm turning 60 this July. How lucky I am to have found you on Litsy. TY my friend. 💙🩵💙

AnnCrystal 🥳 Happy Birthday 🎂🍰🐝💝. 11h

AmyG You are so welcome! You NEEDED The Book Thief and the Stegner book. And somehow I got on a Butterfly jag! Happy early birthday. I am away most of July so I figured I‘d get this out early. 😘 (edited) 11h

Historically my birthday month is the time I read the least. I‘d like to change that so I‘m hosting this quick #BirthdayReadathon
May 7th - 10th. I‘m focusing on pages not create any goal you want.

For younger students but books that help with social emotional regulation are always the best.

How to Catch a Witch | Alice Walstead

pick

A quick little witchy picture book to tick off a couple of bingo squares for #hauntedshelf and #witchathon - I heartily agree that witches should not be captured, they should be partied with.

Grumpy Monkey Party Time! | Suzanne Lang

“Your eyebrows are all bushed up“ I like this quote because it shows how the animals were able to see how the monkey was upset, sometimes this can help us see how others are upset and maybe leave them alone.

Grumpy Monkey Party Time! | Suzanne Lang

I would use Grumpy Monkey in my classroom to discuss emotions and have a conversation as a class that it's okay to have feelings and we don't always have to explain them.

Surprise! Surprise! (Sweet Valley Kids, V.1.) | Francine Pascal

pick

I recently found a treasure trove of free books online (will add link in comments) and I have spent the last few days downloading every Sweet Valley book they had. I decided to read through the SV Kids series along with my SVT read-through and SV Senior Year. Yes, I am a nerd but I‘ve never read this series and I love the feeling of nostalgia I get when I read any Sweet Valley book. 🤓 I fully credit Sweet Valley books for my love of reading. ⬇️

JenlovesJT47 Thank you, Francine Pascal! Anyhoo, book one of SV Kids finds Jess and Liz in 2nd grade preparing for their 7th birthday party. Lots of familiar faces here with their later personalities on display even here in elementary school. I‘m looking forward to this read-through. 4⭐️ #SweetValley #SweetValleyKids #SVK #twins #nostalgia 👯‍♀️ 10mo
