Pumpkin, pumpkin...

I love the fall, don't you?  I love the beautiful colors everywhere and I love apples and pumpkins.  Here is one of my favorite pumpkin books with lots of pumpkin links:

Author, author - two authors visit our school!

Two authors visited our school on Friday, February 7.  Jan Peck and David Davis are both Fort Worth authors who have each written several books that our students loved!  We all had a wonderful time helping them retell their stories and learning about the hard work that goes into writing books.

Thanks, Sarah!

Who is Sarah?  Sarah Hale, of course!  Sarah Hale should be thanked for Thanksgiving.  She was not a pilgrim and she was not at the 1621 harvest celebration (later known as the first Thanksgiving) but she was very important in making sure our country celebrates Thanksgiving today.  Read this book and click on the links below to find out more about this woman and Thanksgiving.

Butterfly in the sky!

Now that you are humming the Reading Rainbow song, check out these links about butterflies.  Some classes watched a distance learning program about butterflies and we learned the monarch butterflies migrate through Texas in the fall as they head south to Mexico for the winter.  So look all around for butterflies in the sky!

Listen up!

As much as I love to read stories with my eyes, I also love to hear stories with my ears.  Some of the best stories are the ones we tell each other!
