Tumblebook - Art Supplies

"It’s not my fault!” Art declared. “My supplies have a mind of their own!” In this delightful tale of the power of the imagination, Art’s supplies come to life in the studio, creating mayhem and magic—and art!
 
  
Pastels, pencils and paints, crayons, brushes and markers, everything gets in on the act of creating a mess-terpiece of fun. Chris Tougas’ brilliant illustrations and clever text explore the essence of the creative process in a way that children will understand.

Tumblebook - And You Can Come Too

Running away is a lot more fun when you let your family come too. For Sara and her little sister Annie, a quiet Saturday ends with a bout of sibling bickering. When Daddy intervenes with some firm words, Sara crossly announces she’s running away … and Annie can come too.
 
  
Soon the girls are in the back yard, where they get Daddy to pitch a tent of bed sheets. They also let him bring flashlights when it gets dark, make a yummy supper of cheese sandwiches (with the crusts cut off), and read them bedtime stories. With cross words forgotten, and with all the comforts of home, what could make running away better? Mommy, of course, who soon turns up with pillows and blankets for all. 
 

Tumblebook - Always

I am the keeper of the castle. This castle... Always... How deep is the bond between a child and a beloved dog? And how far will a pet go to protect his dear friend?
 
 
 
To the ends of the Earth...always. Alison McGhee gives voice to the devotion that knows no bounds in this gentle and poignant picture book about friendship, loyalty, and most of all, love. 
 

Tumblebook - A Moldy Mystery

Gr. 1-3. When his smart, messy older brother, Wayne, goes to science camp, Jeff grabs the chance to tidy up their room, and he throws away the yucky, moldy lunch containers under Wayne's bed. Then Jeff discovers that Wayne was growing the mold for a science project, so he calls on his friend Layla to help him decipher Wayne's notes, search the Internet, and work out how to use all kinds of foods to grow all kinds of mold.
 
 
 
"Did you know?" boxes on the double-page spreads present information about molds--where they come from, how they form, why they smell, which are harmful--but this small picture book in the Science Solves It! series is more than a purposive fictional package for facts. The pictures show the kids dealing with the slime and mess, and the end of the story is a real surprise that evolves naturally from farce and the sibling relationship
 

Tumblebook - A Camping Spree with Mr. Magee

Mr. Magee and his trusty dog, Dee, are enjoying a peaceful camping trip when all of a sudden they find themselves plunging down a mountain and teetering on the edge of a huge waterfall! How will they find their way out of this slippery situation?
 
  
Chris Van Dusen, the creator of Down to the Sea with Mr. Magee, has filled this new adventure with charming illustrations and a playful, rhyming text. A fun read-aloud for children (and adults!) on campouts or snuggling at home!

My Happy Alphabet Book

The cover picture is taken from Happy Alphabet Book, but most of the exercises are my own. The first part of the book presents the letters in threes and fours, followed by exercises for each group of letters, with constant revision.
 
 
 
The second part of the book, Homework sheets, consists of handwriting sheets taken from an alphabet site (unfotunately i have forgotten which). The third part of the book are letter and picture alphabet cards for children to cut out. My kids loved it last year. I hope you like it as well.
 
 
 
Using the notes from my lessons last year, I have made these teacher's notes. They follow the book and present the alphabet in 20 lessons. There is also a games bank for the games mentioned in the lesson plans.
