As I’ve mentioned, I’m addicted to this little treasure of a sketch book. While lounging, I can doodle but there’s not as much pressure as with the larger notepad. I know, I know&…

I'm a little addicted to timelines. I love them. I think they help students visual the story of history. I know they help me. Our most recent story: The American Revolution It takes us from the French and Indian War to the Treaty of Paris. It's an exciting story filled with heroes and battles. And now it's on our wall. I used twine strung between small finishing nails and mini clothes pin to make our timeline. Each card has the name of an integral person or event from the Revolutionary War. There's room on the back for students to write how the person/event impacted the war. We also shaded the Colonial people and victories blue and the British ones red. There are 48 cards in the set. They can be used individually as trading cards or put together in a flip book like this... I punched a single hole in the bottom right hand corner and attached them with a brad. They could also be stapled. Each card comes in three sizes and the set includes blank cards so you can add any person or event not included. If these cards would be a help in your classroom or homeschool, you can find them here. A Civil War set is also available here.
It Only Happens In The Movies by Holly Bourne Published by Usborne in October 2017 Genre: Contemporary, Young Adult Format: Paperback Source: Library Links: Goodreads, Amazon, The Book Depository Synopsis Audrey is over romance. Since her parents' relationship imploded her mother's been catatonic, so she takes a cinema job to get out of the house. But there she meets wannabe film-maker Harry. Nobody expects Audrey and Harry to fall in love as hard and fast as they do. But that doesn't mean things are easy. Because real love isn't like the movies... The greatest love story ever told doesn't feature kissing in the snow or racing to airports. It features pain and confusion and hope and wonder and a ban on cheesy clichés. Oh, and zombies... My Thoughts This book is everything I've ever wanted in a contemporary. Holly Bourne does a fantastic job combining humour with the real-life situation of relationships when you're young. I loved the fact that it didn't shy away from anything, it discussed everyday situations such as sex, divorce and love in a frank but relatable way. 1. The characters were some of the most real I’ve ever read about. Audrey felt so relatable, particularly how she handled herself in different situations. There were times where she was strong, stood her ground and didn’t compromise herself for anybody but there were also times where she was vulnerable and displayed her fears and regrets. Harry, I did have problems with his behaviour sometimes but that’s ultimately what made him a multi-dimensional character. He felt like one of the boys I went to school with or someone I could potentially meet someday, and I loved it. Their relationship was messy and romantic and intense, as real relationships are. 2. The fact that it didn’t shy away from the gritty stuff. It dealt with all the horrible things that teenagers go through from friendships and relationships to dealing with parent drama. How it dealt with the issue of sex and being sexual was the stand out for me. After a bad experience it’s easy to lose confidence with yourself but the way Audrey built up that courage to be open with her feelings again was amazing. I also loved that once she was having sex regularly she didn’t gloss over anything and she didn’t try and hide her enjoyment of it which was refreshing. 3. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a sucker for romance films, I love watching love stories play out on the screen. I liked how Audrey talked about all those clichés that you always find in romance films and how they rarely ever happen in real life. In the end though all love stories are special even if there is no kissing in the rain scene. 4. The witty, humorous writing style. I haven’t read anything of Holly Bourne’s previous work although I do own another of her books. After reading this it’s going straight to the top of my TBR pile. She mixed serious issue with humour brilliantly and I also loved how British it was. Finding UK YA is quite hard for me due to the amount of American publications I read but I really want to start making a conscious decision to read more by UK authors. Rating 4/5. I loved the relatable characters and the humour but I would have liked it to have had a stronger ending. It felt a little rushed to me, I really wanted to delve deeper into Audrey’s emotions during those final scenes.
Ahhhh....why do the weekends have to pass so quickly? I am grateful though. On Friday morning, I woke as usual, went to get in the shower and discovered that we had NO hot water. Not even lukewarm water. Only ice cold water. Brrrrrrr! Now, this girl likes to take steaming hot showers...as in, burn the top layer of your skin off. I do NOT like cold anything (except for beverages). ;) It turned out that our hot water heater had kicked the bucket. Talk about taking things for granted. I will NEVER take hot water for granted again. Despite the advertisement of "same day service if you call before noon," we did not get a new one installed until midday on Saturday. Needless to say I did not leave the house....I did get some new things created for school so I guess that was a good thing. But, boy - was that long, hot shower the best thing EVER! After that shower, I felt like I deserved a little more pampering after spending the last 24+ hours looking like a hot mess. I treated myself to a little mani/pedi and a little shopping. I had to find that just-right outfit for the Carrie Underwood concert on Tuesday! Did you watch the Masters today? Wow! What a finish. I was totally Team Adam on that one, too! So glad an Aussie finally pulled off a win! I'm going to link up with the always cute girls, Amanda and Stacia, over at Collaboration Cuties for their Mentor Text Linky (Math). I LOVE to use picture books to introduce concepts in all subjects, but especially math! There are soooo many to choose from, but since I'm already thinking about my next unit to teach - measurement - I'll share about my favorite picture book for that unit. If you've never seen this cute book - get it. NOW! Here's the Amazon description of this book (click above to go to the Amazon page): Lisa has an important homework assignment--to measure something in several different ways. She has to use standard units like inches and nonstandard units like paper clips to find out height, width, length, weight, volume, temperature, and time. Lisa decides to measure her dog, Penny, and finds out ... Penny's nose = 1 inch long Penny's tail = 1 dog biscuit long Penny's paw print = 3 centimeters wide ... and that's only the beginning! Lisa learns a lot about her dog and about measuring, and even has fun doing it. This clear and engaging concept book, delivered with a sense of humor, is certain to win over the most reluctant mathematician. Of course, after sharing this book and learning about measurement, I assign my students a similar project to my students that we call "The Magnificent Measurement Project." They love that they get to choose something at home to measure - I've had everything from their favorite toys, to their pets, to their parents! I also let students decide how they want to present their projects to the class - they can create a PowerPoint (which we've done in class so they're already familiar with it) or create posters. Most choose PowerPoints....let's face it - they love technology! From the type of projects to the choices of nonstandard units and the various measurement options, this project and book lend themselves to differentiation. If you're interested in the project/rubric, they can be found here. If you don't have this book in your collection, and you teach measurement, I'd highly recommend it! Don't forget to enter for a chance to win our Mother's Day Magazine and/or Father's Day Magazine. Click on the images below to read more, if you missed that post! The winner will be announced on Wednesday!
