It was such an enjoyable read and really inspired me for the up coming school year. I just came across a read aloud called "The Day the Crayons Quit". I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but it's a cute story with a message about creativity. <br /><br />Thanks again for all these resource suggestions! <br /><br />Sincerely, <br /><br />Sarah HavlinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435910920779087689.post-87202420614096661342013-07-04T17:35:33.544-04:002013-07-04T17:35:33.544-04:00Another good Math book is: "Making Mathematic...Another good Math book is: "Making Mathematics Meaningful" for students in the Primary Grades by Werner W.

We have some overlap (Visible Learners, for example) in our summer reading.<br />My recommendation for math: http://www.amazon.com/Little-Kids-Powerful-Problem-Solvers-Kindergarten/dp/0325004315<br />I went to a book talk years ago for this book, and couldn't imagine how it was possible to do such big projects. Now, after completing my K AQ cycle and overhauling my practice, I can't imagine teaching any other way. So, I think I'm due to re-read it.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing. You inspire a life-long learning approach in your embrace of good ideas from around the world. Keep on shining that light!Laurel Fyneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694746377382643755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435910920779087689.post-79013557819724011392013-07-03T20:07:35.331-04:002013-07-03T20:07:35.331-04:00Hi Joanne,

Another great resource that I truly enjoyed and worth exploring for other educators is "Worms, Shadows and Whirlpools: Science in the Early Childhood Classroom" by Karen Worth and Sharon Grollman. <br />Happy summer and I truly look forward to learning more from and with you! <br />Sincerely,<br />Jocelyn <br />www.ljpskindergartenteam.blogspot.caJocelyn Schmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17583566149113654951noreply@blogger.com
