After you have taken a bath, it is time to eat cookies! Cookie Monster is eating his cookies. Yummy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye8mB6VsUHw

It is song and story time with cookies. Big Bird is singing on of my favorites, ABC-DEF-GHI-JK-LMNOP-QRS-TUV-WXYZ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTvhKZHAP8U

Many schools are using Lucy Calkins’ materials and Units of Study. One of her units includes an essay unit. Jim Trelease has a site that includes a weekly essay. It is awesome! http://www.trelease-on-reading.com/essay-of-week.html

I am always looking for resources. This is another site of wonderful resources for us.
