Making the final touches on my Rowdy: Redemption Teacher Guide, written by award-winning, retired English Teacher, Jack Mullen.

Book 1 in the Rowdy series, Rowdy: Wild and Mean, Sharp and Keen also has an accompanying teachers guide. Both are filled with activities that span from 6th-12th grade. And I love the wall art!

I hesitated about sharing this one... I'm a huge fan of vintage early readers, as many of you know, which always seem so much better than the current licenced junk. And in that regard, "Uncle Elephant" (1981) by beloved author/Illustrator Arnold Lobel, is a beautiful example. But the book starts off with the young elephant's parents being lost at sea, and it seemed like it might upset some little ones. I am happy to report, however, that there is a happy ending (of which you can reassure young readers), and between start and finish, plenty of sweet, gentle lessons about dealing with sadness and learning to cope with difficult situations. "Uncle Elephant" may not be the most cheerful book around, but it's a lovely one nonetheless, and well worth seeking out. ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutsclassickidlit #noodlenutskidsbooks #bookstagraminthe6ix #uncleelephant #arnoldlobel #anicanreadbook #icanreadbooks #earlyreading #earlyreaders #easyreader #teachersofinstagram #kidsofinstagram #reading #teacherfriends #booksforkids #oldbooks #readingisfun #readingteacher #homeschoolcollective #homeschoolreading #kidsread #vintagechildrensbooks #childrensclassics #readingstrategies #preschoolreaders #childhoodfavourites #musthavekidsbooks #earlychapterbook https://www.instagram.com/p/B3NjZQZHzle/?igshid=1jumgf22v8ube

What we’re reading Wednesday 📚 . . We took a break over the holiday and ate slowly reuplpadimh to our regular schedule (adding about 2 things a day til we get to our groove before the break). . . We just finished Odd and the Frost Giants as our morning family read aloud which became a bed time read aloud during the break. We’re bank to reading after breakfast and ate getting ready to start #wishtree by #katherineapplegate as part of our #buildyourlibrarylevel2 things. . . M has been reading #101awesomewomen who changed the world by #Julia Adams 🖤. I really wish I had a book like this when I was growing up! We’re on chapter 2 #womenscientists #womeninventors and I’m walking away so empowered + inspired too 🌟. Many of these women I don’t know about either and M is really loving seeing how strong girls are and how much they’ve contributed (even in the face of adversity, and #learningchallenges ). She’s become so much more motivated to continue her reading path and work hard at her own pace (#capd #dyslexia can really take a toll on a child’s self esteem but this book is really lighting up a Fire to #nevergiveup 🔥). . . I’m so grateful for it. I picked it up at #5below and reminds me of the rebel girls series. I’m planning to pick those up next at some point. This book is 4 chapters divided up by field. . . E to my surprise reread The Sign of the Beaver with Dad (!). He’s my reluctant reader fam so you know how big this is. He’s been doing his night time read aloud to Dad too just as M.. all about reading books). . . . . #whatwerereading #whatwerereadingwednesday #homeschoolbooks #homeschoolliterature #homeschoolreadalouds #homeschoolreading #homeschoolreads #homeschoollibrary #buildyourlibrary #buildyourlibrarycurriculum #byl #buildyourlibraryfamilies #relaxedhomeschool #relaxedhomeschooling #relaxedhomeschoolers https://www.instagram.com/p/BsbR5eqArHh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c4s1j79tcmrd

We’re more than half way through #idab now 🌲! Im also nearing the end of #raisingcandokids and was so pleasantly surprised by this book! It does a wonderful job of presenting lots of research in an easy to read manner, all the while embedding entrepreneurial anecdotes. It was a gem of a find at the dollar store. . . . . . #homeschoolbooks #homeschoolreadalouds #homeschoolmombooks #homeschoolingbooks #mombooks #parentingbooks #childhooddevelopmentbooks #readaloudrevival #childrensliterature #homeschoolliterature #homeschoolreading #homeschoolfamilybooks https://www.instagram.com/p/BqQO3GYA5J-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10lsszma1lg76

We are loving the book #idab by #katherinehannigan its written in a different style compared to Trumpet of the Swan (our last book), which took some getting used to for the first few chapters. However, to my surprise the kids have been yelling “one more chpt!” for almost every sitting so far. It’s one of those books you just can’t put down! 🌟 . . This quote right here spoke to my mama heart so much too when I read it.. I think so many children wish we understood this - when they’re so desperately trying to tell us something or interject their own commentary among adults.. Sadly it seldom gets understood this way. A few years ago my babes got into the habit of holding my hand if they had to tell me something but nowadays it’s less common and they just whisper in my ear what they want to say, or patiently wait (these are one of those things that start manifesting as they get older). Either way this is a great reminder for me that most of the time what my kids have to say trumps whatever the feelings or perceptions are - of the adult I’m chatting with has. 🖤 . . The book is really also showing my babes one of the reasons why we loosely do things like math, reading, writing in a relaxed yet rhythmic way vs. radically unschooling..we take things year by year and always consider unknowns like the ones Ida’s family is traversing (such a difficult season). It’s also re-connecting us to all of the reasons why we love #homeschooling and what a privilege, freedom, and advantage it is 🦋🌲. . . It’s a beautiful #homeschoolfamly book and a tear jerker for sure so if you haven’t read it yet, please do! Just keep some tissues handy nearby.. . . . . xo . . . . . #buildyourlibrarylevel2 #buildyourlibrarycurriculum #buildyourlibrary #byl #bylfamilies #readaloudrevival #homeschoolreadalouds #homeschoolreadaloud #homeschoolbooks #homeschoolliterature #homeschoolchapterbooks #homeschoolreading #homeschoolquotes #homeschoolkids #homeschoolfiction #homeschoolstories #homeschoolers #homeschoolcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/BqNcUJVgbND/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s3g6ly7uz7wr
