Book Talk Tuesday

September 24, 2014 by Amber Masters

Hi there!

Is it really only Tuesday? Oh dear. I’m exhausted. My two classes are worlds apart this year which is resulting in just a tiny bit of stress ๐Ÿ™‚ They really are a bunch of sweeties though and I am so grateful to be their teacher! Today, I am linking up with Deanna Jump at Mrs. Jump’s class for Book Talk Tuesday Linky!

http://mrsjumpsclass.blogspot.com/2014/09/book-talk-tuesday-books-about-apples.html

This week we have been talking about bullies. Awhile back I shared about the story Llama Llama and the Bully Goat. I love this story and you can read about it here. The story I am sharing with you today is Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns About Bullies.

Howard B. Wigglebottom Author Howard Binkow
ย 
Howard is bullied by the Snorton Twins. He tries different strategies like ignoring, avoiding, and making jokes to solve the problem, but non of them seem to work. Finally, Howard gets the courage to tell the teacher.ย  She makes Howard feel safe and the stops the bullying!
This book along with Llama Llama and the Bully Goat, have been awesome, age-appropriate books to explore the topic of bullying with my little ones. They can relate to the stories so well since they both take place at school. We are currently talking about ways to keep bullies out of our classroom. We’ve also decided to use the saying, “Be Brave, Be Bold, A Teacher Must Be Told!“
Also, there is an interactive version online! You can find that here!
Have a fabulous week! ๐Ÿ™‚

Teachers love summer projects! โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ”จ This on Teachers love summer projects! โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ”จ

After years of looking for land, designing our home, clearing the property, and then making more changes to the house plans (because apparently we werenโ€™t done making decisions ๐Ÿ˜‚), weโ€™re excited to sayโ€ฆ WE BROKE GROUND! ๐Ÿšœ๐ŸŽ‰

Weโ€™re so excited for the journey ahead and plan to enjoy the ride! ๐Ÿก๐Ÿคโœจ

๐Ÿ”ฅโœจ Itโ€™s been one week and Iโ€™m still smili ๐Ÿ”ฅโœจ Itโ€™s been one week and Iโ€™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 โ€” to laugh, play, and make memories that heal in ways medicine canโ€™t. ๐Ÿ•๏ธโœจ

Camp isnโ€™t just a place โ€” itโ€™s a feeling. A reminder that when all kids get to be kids, the world shines a little brighter. ๐Ÿฉท

Seeing that magic up close reminded me how powerful community can be when we come together. ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

But hereโ€™s the best part: camp is 100% free for every family โ€” all thanks to incredible volunteers and donors who make the magic possible. ๐Ÿ™Œ

If youโ€™ve been waiting for a sign to get involvedโ€ฆ this is it. โœจ
Join me and be a part of something truly amazing! 

๐Ÿ’š Volunteer: Be the reason a camper smiles! 

๐Ÿ’š Donate: Every dollar keeps campfires glowing and hearts healing.
