Heartland Elementary

We have read some really fun books this month.
A new favorite to share with your classes is: "Over in the Jungle-A Rainfoest Rhyme". It is written by Marianne Berkes and illustrated by Jeannette Canyon. It is a counting book that rhyms which the kids loves but the thing that is wonderful about the book is the way the illustrator puts the book together. She goes out to photograph the rainforest first. She then uses a variety of mediums to create the pages. It is
colorful and fun!

The Okay Book written by Amy Krouse Rosenthal & Tom Lichtenheld is another book that we all liked alot!
The "OK" is shown through out the book doing alot of different activities. Although he's not great at most, he knows that if he tries lots of things he will find something that he can be great at!

We talked with the kids about trying new things. We all have talents that we can discover that we have and are good at.
