A Little Thankful Spot

On the day before Thanksgiving, I followed up A Little Calm spot for some classes with A Little Thankful Spot by the same author, Diane Alber. She created a list of questions to go with the book, and I present to you now my favorite answers.

What are you THANKFUL for that ...

is red: blood

makes you smile: birthdays

is soft: bed

is very big: school

is very small: insects

What person are you THANKFUL for?  Lebron James

Grade 3 FICtion Covers

Every fictional chapter book call number has "FIC" as the first line, and then the first three letters of the author's last name as the second line. 

For example, if I wrote a book, the call number would be 

FIC 

MOO 

What would YOUR call number be? 

Students in third grade figured out the call numbers for a list of books and then created their very own for a fiction book they "wrote." Here are some of their book covers:

A Little Calm Spot with K

To tie into our school's Choose Love curriculum, I shared A Little Calm Spot by Diane Alber with kindergarteners. This book introduces some of the tenets of yoga, including breathing, movement, and mindset.  

After practicing more yoga with Cosmic Kids Yoga, the kids made their own calm spots to take with them to remind them about what they learned. The googly eyes may have made the activity a little less calm, but they also make everything better.
