Teaching Heart Blog

OMG, it is September!!!  Where the heck did summer go?  It went way too fast…  but with that said, I LOVE FALL!!!  It’s my favorite season.  So many fun activities one can do in the classroom or at home.  Plus the colors outside and the light nip in the air is wonderful.  Can’t forget all thing pumpkin; coffee, pie, dip, cookies…  NEED I SAY MORE?  Only bad thing about Fall is that Winter follows.  I really dislike winter…

I read Piggie Pie by Margie Palantini every year to all the grades K-5 during
library time. (librarian here). It has become a tradition. 14 class x 13
years…. you do the math. We act it out and chant various sections. I have had
High Schoolers come back as ask me if I am still reading it.
