Reading
One Day and One Amazing Morning on Orange Street by Joanne Rocklin: I'm reading this book aloud to my 4th and 5th grade students. We've read the first couple of chapters. The kids that live on Orange Street have a mysterious visitor. With the visitor, comes a sneak into the street's past. I'll let you know how it turns out, but it has begun well.

I just found BoomWriter today. This FREE online writing website encourages your child/students to write narratives. A celebrity writer starts a story, which is then collectively completed by young writers. This is a project of Citizen Schools, a non-profit that runs awesome programs at my husband's middle/high school. Check it out!
This was a lovely pin from the week. I love this poster:

We went to Little Farm in Berkeley last weekend. We checked out the farm animals (see rooster below), and took a walk to a pond (below). Even though my daughter was quite tired, we had a great morning.
It was my brother's birthday this weekend. His girlfriend had this awesome cake made for him (he's a huge Phillies fan)- I just had to show it off! We had a great time at my big bro's surprise party!
What are you Reading? Pinning? Doing?
Both the book you're reading to your students, and that website you shared sound interesting. Thanks for linking up!
