Book Nook

I will be starting a recommended read section titled: Book Nook in the resource section of this blog. Once a month (or more) I will feature a children's book that I recommend and then add it to the Book Nook list. I do hope that you find these titles enjoyable to read and to share with your children. Please leave a comment about what you thought of the book of if you have another book to recommend. Happy reading!

Our first Book Nook selection is: I AM HUMAN by, Susan Verde and illustrated by, Peter H. Reynolds. This a book about Empathy. "Being human means we are full of possibility. We learn, we dream, we wonder at the world around us. But we also make mistakes and can feel fearful or sad. I am Human affirms that we can make good choices by acting with compassion and having empathy for others and ourselves."

What we are thnkful for

This is our very first podcast! As we read the story "biscuit is thankful" the children created sound effects to go along. Then at the end, the children had the opportunity to say what they are thankful for. Podcast

My little photographers!

So today I came across my two toddlers bringing Mr. Potato Head pieces over to the table and taking pictures of them with their toy cameras:

I decided to get them their own camera and teach them how to take real pictures. This was the first that was taken as I showed them how to hold the camera and press the button. Not bad!

Then they took the camera into the block play area where they posed animals and cars and took their picture, I love that they took the pictures looking down and that you can see their little feet!!

There were many pictures taken. Most of them had a finger over the picture, but they did not mind in the least. It was the process that they loved! This last shot was taken as we were sitting and looking through all of the pictures that the kiddos took. What a great experience!!
