The Quiet Book!

July 23, 2014 by Amber Masters

Hello!
Happy Tuesday!
I’m having a hard time believing that it’s the end of July! I have been loooooving my summer days but I am excited to meet my new bunch of kinders too! Today I am linking up with Deanna Jump for her Lets Talk About Books linky.
http://mrsjumpsclass.blogspot.com/2014/07/book-talk-tuesday.html
My wishlist has become quite substantial as I’ve listened to the suggestions of so many wonderful teachers! Any who, the book I’m sharing today is……..
The Quiet Book by Deborah Underwood.
This.book.is.adorable.
The story is about different types of quiet. The darling animals illustrate the different types of quiet that happen throughout the day. This story is wonderful for a few reasons.
1. It’s a great way to talk about the different emotions behind being “quiet” (perhaps someone is lonely, sad, busy, working, trying to surprise someone).
2. The story encourages students to think about the times that they are quiet and can lead into a discussion about quiet times at school (which my kinder darlings need sooo bad at the beginning of the year!)
3. The illustrations are way too cute!
I mean seriously, just adorbs!
I’m off to see all the other books in the link up! You can check them out here!
Have a wonderful week!

Year 15 in Kindergarten! 🍎 We had a wonderful f Year 15 in Kindergarten! 🍎 We had a wonderful first day! We read stories, sang songs, played, learned routines, and most importantly, enjoyed being together. 🩷 I can’t wait to watch friendships blossom, confidence grow, and so much learning happen this year! 📚 ✨

Teachers love summer projects! ☀️🔨 This on Teachers love summer projects! ☀️🔨

This one, however, will for sure be running well into the school year. 😂🏡

After years of looking for land, designing our home, clearing the property, and then making more changes to the house plans (because apparently we weren’t done making decisions 😂), we’re excited to say… WE BROKE GROUND! 🚜🎉

We’re so excited for the journey ahead and plan to enjoy the ride! 🏡🤍✨

Swipe to see some of the progress over the past 3.5 years with our land! 🩷

🔥✨ It’s been one week and I’m still smili 🔥✨ It’s been one week and I’m still smiling from my first-ever Campfire at FlyingHorseFarms!

Flying Horse Farms is this magical camp in Central Ohio, where kids with serious illnesses get to just be kids — to laugh, play, and make memories that heal in ways medicine can’t. 🏕️✨

Camp isn’t just a place — it’s a feeling. A reminder that when all kids get to be kids, the world shines a little brighter. 🩷

Seeing that magic up close reminded me how powerful community can be when we come together. 🫶🏻

But here’s the best part: camp is 100% free for every family — all thanks to incredible volunteers and donors who make the magic possible. 🙌

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to get involved… this is it. ✨
Join me and be a part of something truly amazing! 

💚 Volunteer: Be the reason a camper smiles! 

💚 Donate: Every dollar keeps campfires glowing and hearts healing.

We welcomed baby sister during the first week of summer and I’m officially a mom of 2! 💕I’m looking forward to getting back to sharing classroom ideas with you in August. Hope you all are having a relaxing and restful summer! ☀️
