Welcome to Litsy!

1. That I wake up every morning, even though I‘d rather not sometimes.
2. That it‘s Friday and I only have to deal with Arlo and Izzy for 2 days.
3. My Izzy and my Arlo. They annoy the giblets out of me and I wouldn‘t have it any other way.
4. My group of co-worker friends. They make the sh*tshow worth it.
5. Coffee.

Happy New Year, Litsy!

I‘ve still got 3 hours left, but I‘m calling it on my 2024 reading challenges. Still no Bingo, and I didn‘t finish all my #Bookspin & #Doublespin picks, but at least I met my 2024 book goal. Even if I did have to pad it a bit today with some kids books, including the tagged, which I picked thinking of the meme at the bottom - this year has been ROUGH, including some bad news that I got just today. I need a break in 2025

One of my favorites as a kid. A classic and a great series.

He'll probably ask you for a straw.
When he's finished, he'll ask for a napkin.

This book is a sequence of events that students can identify story telling

If you give a mouse cookie, is good book for students to understand more vocabulary and identifying sight words

This story is great to show children that you need to be grateful for what you are given and not demand more than what you have

“If you give a mouse a cookie, he‘s going to ask for a glass of milk.”

This story is a classic story about how if you give a mouse a cookie it will ask for more and more. This story goes through the progression of things a mouse will ask for after each thing you give them. This story has a great lesson about greed and consequences.

My grands loved these books.

“When you give him the milk, he‘ll probably ask you for a straw”

I love this book for kids. I love how each event that happens, the mouse requests something else as well!

This story describes a series of events that occur after a young boy gives a mouse a cookie. The mouse is given the cookie which makes him ask for a class of milk, making him ask and do many more things. Every event that occurs makes the mouse want something new.

This book is about a little mouse who keeps asking for something else once he gets a cookie. If you give a mouse a cookie, he will ask for a glass of milk and so on.

If you go on vacation and your refrigerator leaks, you‘ll need to replace your floors. When new floors are installed, you decide to wipe down the cabinets. If you wipe the cabinets and things start to look clean, you notice your walls need painted, less than a week before Christmas! What have I gotten myself into! At least there‘s audio books! #AllThatSheCarried

I think both of these were gifts from teachers when I was in elementary school but I don‘t actually remember.

Bedtime for Frances has a note written in it from my kindergarten teacher which is cool.

This MF book is a classic! I read this book growing up and it‘s just adorable. The book teaches about cause and effect and choices. Linked is a resource that allows students to compete a story plot by cutting and pasting pictures in the order they came in the book. This can be completed after doing a SR.

This F book was super cute to read. It was about a little mouse and what happens when he has a cookie. It talks about a variety of different tasks he completes and it leads him back to another glass of milk and of course another cookie. This book one the Georgia Children‘s Picture Storybook Award. Children will love this book as a read aloud in a circle on the carpet.

This classic book HAD to be my last review. I decided to do NUMEROFF as my AS and I realized how wonderful of an author she is. This book is perfect for an AS but in a special way. You can have students learn about the specific ways she writes and have students create their own “If you give” books. This is fun and engaging and students love it! #ucflae3414sp20

“If You Give A Mouse A Cookie” by Laura Joffe Numeroff is such a funny F book to perform a RA with! This book is about a very demanding little mouse who after receiving a cookie, wants a glass of milk, a straw, a napkin, etc! #UCFLAE3414F19

#ucflae3414f19 If You Give A Mouse A Cookie written by Laura Joffe Numeroff and illustrated by Felicia Bond was always such a fun book for me growing up. This children's F PB was a NYT best sellers and was first published in 1985.

“If you give a mouse a cookie, he‘s going to ask for a glass of milk.”

I really enjoy this series of books about the mouse and what will happen if you give him something! It goes from that one object all the way to something that doesn‘t even relate back to it!

If You Give A Mouse. A Cookie by Laura Joffre Numeroff, 1985. Through the illustrations in this book, we can see just what happens when you give a mouse a cookie! The pictures in the book are detailed all the way down to things like labels on cereal boxes to knickknacks in the kitchen. The illustrations create a sort of movie like feel as we can see details in the actions and environment of the mouse and boy.

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff is a great MF kids book about the slippery slope of the simple act of sharing a cookie. It is very cute and can be shared around class with students.

Today is our grandson‘s fifth birthday. Of course there‘s a book in his gift bag! This was one of my favorites to read with our kids. I hope he likes it as much as his mommy did.
