Teachers never cease to amaze!!! 🤩This teacher read aloud one of my books, “A Letter From Your Teacher on the First Day of School,” while SKYDIVING! 🙀🪂She filmed it as a welcome video to introduce herself to her new group of students. To say that’s a fun first impression is a total understatement! This even aired on TV as an episode called “Weather Gone Viral” on the Weather Channel 📺 Do you plan to read this same book to your kids during back to school time too? I have no doubt you’ll be making a great first impression (even if it’s with your feet on the ground!) 😉💗Video credit: Happily 💛 ... See MoreSee Less

Today was my favorite shopping day of the year!!! 😍 Book number 3 is in Target, and I couldn’t be more excited!! 🎯🎉❤️This exclusive Target edition has another book jacket that turns into a poster 🙌🏼Just like we did for “A Letter From Your Teacher on the First Day of School,” I thought it’d be fun to have it match one of the posters in the book by Sandie Sonke Illustration (the same one on the new teacher’s door)! For any of you who might like to hang it on your door too, or anywhere else in your classroom 🥰Have you seen this newest one in your local Target yet?? Thanks for sharing with me, I’d love to hear! ❤️P.S. I had the best intentions opting for a basket, but who am I kidding…at Target I know I always end up needing the cart! 🛒😂 ... See MoreSee Less

Need a Mother’s Day song for your students to sing at a class Mother’s Day tea or celebration next month? This is the ONE! 💛A long while back, I took one of my favorite oldies songs and re-wrote the lyrics for students to sing…and their moms absolutely LOVED it! So this continued to be one of my go-to songs for Mother’s Day class performances for many years 👍🏼And now I’m sharing it with you…for free! 🙌🏼🥰 I have a free download with:•the printable lyrics•tips for practicing with your class•a video of me singing the song 🙈 (in case it’s helpful to hear how it sounds out loud, and to get some ideas for student hand motions when they perform) 🤗If you’re already on my email list, I sent this your way yesterday 💌 If you aren't already on it and would like the song, here’s the link below to get it via email! ☀️view.flodesk.com/pages/63c9ba9eecc6781900625e80 ...
