I am so very excited to say that this book received a

great review from the class of room 6.

A joyful little girl in the front row could see the pig was

hiding the paints in the hay bail picture.

The class did not think that the pig

would share the paints with the other pets.

On one of the final pages,

there is a Pet Art Museum illustration.

Lots of voices all at once gave a

huge gasp and said “Wow!” Then there were lots

of smaller voices commenting on which picture they

liked best in the Pet Art Museum.

It was better than I could have hoped for.

A big THANK YOU to the teacher in Classroom 6!

She is so clever. The class will spend some time talking

about the book, making art, and practicing their

writing with words from the book.

Great Job!

If you have a story about reading this book to your class,

please feel free to send me a note or pictures of your art.

& Have Pure Joy Teaching

My new class of ESL Student is enjoying the book now.
We have read it a few times and discussed different
ways that they might paint if they were that pet.

Those were interesting conversations.

"How would the pig hold the brush with only two hooves?"
It was fun to watch the kids try to write with only two
fingers holding the pens.

We came up with lots of fun ideas and it will be fun
to see all the art posted in the library this week.

Thank you to all the students for sharing your artistic talents.

Have a joyful day!

Air Writing Alphabet book NEW Release

978-0-473-46320-5 My new book with flashcards pages and teacher notes on the back pages. The back cover has the reversed view of letters for a teacher to use as a reference. Order book Here Air Writing is a fun way to use play-based learning. It is simple and a low prep activity. There is one important thing to remember when using air writing: when you are facing another person, the view will look reversed to them. It is the mirror effect. Your right will be their left. So as a teacher, when I am facing a student, and they ask how do I make a letter h? I need to remember to turn the h backward, so they see the correct view. For me: it is a big stick down then bump to the left. For them: they see a big stick down and it bumps to the right. ( the correct way) It takes a little bit of extra thought before making the letters. One letter at a time is easy! But when doing lots of letters, and trying to say the correct letter sou

Eating the Alphabet with Alex the Alligator

978-0-473-39803-3 you can find the book on amazon Eating the Alphabet with Alex the Alligator This first book of mine was written as a silly way to combine the print-rich classroom with preschool alphabet games. We were already using the homemade alligator game to feed the alligator the alphabet soup. That idea came from Pinterest. This book created another visual link to the tactile game. I have watched many children re-enact the story in the classroom after they are read the book. It is easy to group all the items together in a basket and leave it for them to choose as a game. Education can be play for them. Mostly Healthy As a teacher and a mom, I try to encourage healthy eating. The pictures that I put into the book are mostly healthy. When it came to some letters like D, I decided to go with doughnut instead of date, because I wanted the kids to be able to associate the pictures with real things. Dates look too much like raisins and I t
