Welcome to Litsy!

Back to my Penderwicks for now! ❤ I need a little bit to smile about!!

“My name is Junie B. Jones. The B stands for Beatrice. Except I don‘t like Beatrice. I just like B and that‘s all.“

I would use this in my classroom right before the summer started because a lot of families go on vacation during the summer and it could be relatable and get the students excited.

This is a very good book for young children and is age-appropriate. This is realistic fiction because it is about going on a vacation and what happens on vacation sometimes. This is relatable to most kids because a lot of people go on family vacations. The book does highlight some of the problems she faces growing up.

This book, a Caldecott Honor book, is about a family going to their family reunion and all the fun they have!

I would use this book in my future classroom, because despite the unhappy turn the ending takes it is a good book to teach about the importance of family and how you should treasure the moments you have with them.

You‘d have to go through at least four different hugs to get from the kitchen to the front room. Those relatives!

#MOvember #LaIslaBonita Set on the lush island of Mallorca its mountains and beaches, its tapas and tennis courts, promise an escape for the Post family, who each have plenty they are hiding. I LOVED this novel full of light humor and rich peoples problems. This could work for #LoL #Booked2020

Book mail and none for me. 😫 (What parents sacrifice for their children!) The new Wimpy Kid is a stocking stuffer - yes, already.

This is a contemporary book, which I read all of. It is a great example of the genre because it is something that is realistic in a classroom. In the first chapter, Junie is so excited about her vacation that she can't sit still, and all she wants is for it to be show and tell so she can tell everyone about her vacation. Every child probably gets excited about something happening and can't pay attention or stay still.
