Those Darn Squirrels by Adam Rubin

This week's Fountas and Pinnell books include humorous books. One of them is Those Darn Squirrels which details Mr. Fookwire's attempts to save the bird feeder food from being eaten by one of the most intelligent animals: squirrels. My students LOVE this book both for the writing and the delightful illustrations.

Today I went to my library's e-book selection so I could put the book up on the "big screen," when I realized that there are sequels to this book, and I can't wait to read them! (Click on the covers to read more at Amazon!)

I hope you enjoy these books as much as my students did! Any books that make my students excited are great books indeed!

Favorite Quote from Power of Positivity

I am one of those people who wants to get along with everyone. I end up apologizing too much to avoid confrontation. That is why this quote resonates with me:

Is there anyone else out there who feels the same way as me? I would love to think that I am not alone!

Internet Library

During online learning I discovered Internet Archive Open Library which is an extensive online library. I love to put my Fountas & Pinnell interactive read-alouds on the "big screen" so the kids can see the beautiful illustrations while I read at the front of the room during their snack. In addition, this web site now has a dedicated K -12 section:

I used to collect (and still have) many decorative houses. I've always been fascinated by different houses in real life, too ~ which probably explains why I love this house clipart!
