My son is in love with reading "Fly Guy" books right now. He writes his own Fly Guy books and even thinks Angry Birds should have their own Fly Guy version of the game. =) Does anyone have any extension activities to do with this series of books and/or does anyone know of a series similar to this one that I could introduce him to? I want to take advantage of his excitement!

Hello everyone

I have always found that reading jokes is a great way of encouraging my son to read more.  This is my latest post about a fun activity your child can do to make a joke book and choose their favourite jokes to write in it:

Thanks for reading!

Hi reading teachers,

I'm hosting a Words Their Way giveaway right now (ends tomorrow) and it could use some SERIOUS SHARING LOVE. I've been surprised at the low number of entries! It ends tomorrow night (10-26).  If you've ever used Words Their Way, you know that this is an awesome program for teaching spelling and reading by analogy.  http://thisreadingmama.com/2012/10/21/words-their-way-giveaway/

@thisreadingmom

Thank you in advance!

Hi reading teachers,

Just wanted to share with you a new (and FREE) PreK reading curriculum I've developed called Reading the Alphabet.  It's designed for those young prekinders (like my son) who already know letters/sounds, yet aren't ready for a faster-paced Kindergarten curriculum, yet.  I'd love to have you take a look at my sneak peek lesson 1 that just went live and share it wherever you can.  Thanks in advance for spreading the word!

Hi all!

I am hosting a country wide post card swap! One class from each state will be accepted. All of the entries are first come first serve. What do you need? 49 postcards, labels (to make addressing and writing easy), and postage for each card. Please be aware that this is NOT a free project! It will cost a bit to buy those supplies, but I believe the swap will be worth it! I will collect each state's info and create a document with a label for each address, that will save you quite a bit of work! It's also a good idea to type out your message on a label and then have the kiddos attach them to the postcards, this will be a major time saver. ALL cards MUST be sent by the first of November. This will allow enough time for you to get them together and make sure they are all swapped in a timely manner. This is a great opportunity to teach letter writing, as well as social studies. I will probably read the postcards with my students, study each state briefly, Google Earth the address on the card, and I think it would be AWESOME to Skype with a class or two! :) (Let me know if you're interested in that as well).

Okay, now down to the nitty gritty....
So far I have filled slots for Florida (my state), California, and Indiana. THAT'S IT! I still have sooo many states to fill.

If you are interested please contact me via e-mail @ MissWhiddens2nds@gmail.com.

Thanks so much,

Lacey

p.s. Thanks to the wonderful Mrs.Saoud from Primary Graffiti for the awesome idea! :)
