Welcome to Litsy!

Catching up with the last couple weeks of joys since I pivoted to a full year of joys last week.
1. I finally visited a local Amish market & bought some yummy muffins & other baked goods.
2. We got about 7.5 inches of snow & one of my neighbors made the world‘s most pathetic snowman.
3. Our friends from NJ came to visit with their sweet collie.
4. I got a new Billy bookcase & did a little rearranging.
5. Local teams in the playoffs.

I really liked this graphic novel in the lessons that it teaches children. It is a cute way of talking about friendships and how to bring out the best in each other. I would use this as a class read aloud and have students work in random partners, talk about the things that they like about each other and what they are good at, what they admire about each other. I also like the lesson it teaches about disagreements and how to handle them.

The graphic novel Sparkly New Friends written by Heather Burnell, is a cute story about Unicorn and Yeti and their friendship. The story explores their friendship starting from when they see each other sparkle from a way away, finally bumping into each other in search of what is so shiny. They end up forming the best of friendships despite their differences and help bring out the best in each other along the way.

This would be a great book for the classroom highlighting the significance of teamwork, showcasing how each member‘s unique strengths playa vial role in the group‘s success.

“A Good Team” by Heather Burnell is a charming talk about friendship and collaboration. It follows a diverse group of characters as they unite to overcome challenges and reach their goals. Burnell‘s engaging and accessible writing make it an idea choice for young readers. The colorful illustrations enhance the story, vividly brining the character an their adventures to life.
