Happy Weekend! If you're a teacher, and you survived Halloween (amazingly on a Friday, too!), you've reached a great milestone!
Today I'm linking up with Andrea from Momfessionals and Erika from A Little Bit of Everything for their weekly link-up!
FRIDAY FAVORITES & MORE!
Too Good To Go App = Discounted Food = Fighting Food Waste!
One weekend, my sister visited and brought some delicious cookies that she got through the app: Too Good to Go. Today I used the app for the first time to get a surprise box at a bakery in Melrose. For $7.00, I got a surprise box of baked goods: 4 cupcakes, a muffin and an apple turnover.
According to their web site:
Too Good To Go is a social impact company on a mission to inspire and empower everyone to fight food waste together.
Here's a link to the app so you can help save good food from going to waste:
If you like pandas, check out this book: Panda Kindergarten
When I was a teacher, I needed a book to read so I peeked in my Trait Crate (3rd grade version)* and found a book called - Panda Kindergarten by Joanne Ryder:
This non-fiction books tells about a place in China that takes special care of panda moms and their cubs. Panda moms care only care for one cub so if there are twins, one gets ignored. Not at this place - the special people take care of the other panda while the mom tends to the other cub. Then the people switch the cubs so that they both get what they need from the mom. When the pandas are old enough, they go to kindergarten where they get to play outside on equipment; they even have rest time! My students were crazy for this book! Now they all want a turn to take it home. You know it's a winner when that happens.
*P.S. We only used the Trait Crate as a writing program for a few years before switching to Lucy Calkins Writing.
A Great Quote!
Now that I'm an older, retired adult, I read a lot. Years ago, I took this picture at a book store on Nantucket, and I really loved it. It still resonates!
If you've read The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, you might remember this line from the book:
Have a Happy Halloween and a wonderful week!
