Stormy is FULL. I think I have 5-6 new tote bagels. Have gotten almost everything I wanted except for magic misfits after a rude person pushed me and said the line started back there!! (The people running the booth said there was no line. Tired but happy. And 6 more hours to go.
Next stop luggage check.

One of our favorite books this year has been Rosie Revere, Engineer. 💪
pickThis awesome F New York Times Best Seller would be great for RA. This book describes Rosie and her passion for being an engineer. Her uncle discourages her from pursuing her dreams but her Aunt tells her to keep trying even if she fails. UDL 6.1 Guide appropriate goal-setting. ESOL 41. Have students compile notebooks of their hypothesis,materials, procedures,data, conclusions of experiments, and field experiments #UCFLAE3414F17
pickWritten by Andrea Beaty and illustrated by David Roberts, this RF/P PB is a New York Times bestseller and would be great for a RA. This book is about Rosie, a budding engineer, who invents gizmos that often fail. But she doesn't give up and tries to fix her mistakes. You could use this book for a poetry lesson or for STEAM subjects. https://www.andreabeaty.com/rosie-educational-resources.html
Rosie Revere Engineer written by Andrea Beaty and Illustrated by David Roberts is a NYTBS RF picture book and would be a perfect RA in the classroom. This book is about a young girl who dreamed of becoming an engineer but failed and let down her uncle and then began to give up on her goals. Her aunt Rose comes around at the perfect time and reminds Rosie of how smart she is and to not give up because “The only true failure can come if you quit”.
pickLove this book! And I looked into different women in engineering, so here's a photo and quick blurb from some online magazine 😂
pickI loved this book! I did get a little teary on the last page, but my boys patiently waited for me to regain my composure. 😁
pickSorry I've been a little MIA, friends. It's been a tough week, but I really appreciate the support I've had from all of you. I can't participate in #24in48 this time but I'll be rooting you all on! This book (and the whole series) is awesome! I love that there are struggles and naysayers and misunderstandings throughout, because it's so realistic but also inspiring. Just bought a copy for my cousin's new baby, and I will recommend it to everyone!
pickWhat a great concept. Not only is this little girl a budding engineer, creating and constructing all sorts of cool things from trash, but she fails. A lot. And that's awesome. The importance of failure - what a great thing to teach kids! Also, I love this picture, because one of my favorite things to ask my little one is to look at a picture of a person and imagine how they feel. You can only see half her face, and it still captures emotion.
Raising my girls to take over the world.
pickI read this book on March 10, 2017. It was pretty great. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am happy that I bought it for my nieces, who are four (they're twins).
The takeaway from this story? "The only true failure can come if you quit."

It's been a crazy few days with my son turning 4! Swimming with friends, cake and of course, a book haul! I've finally trained everyone to give him a book along with any toys. #blessed #ZeekApproved
pick5⭐️So cute!! I want our library to get more of Andrea's books! • " Life might have its failures, but this is NOT it. The only true failure can come if you quit."•
Just a couple of our beloved picture books featuring planes and automobiles and celebrating imagination and ingenuity! #photoadaynov16
I'm a happy dad when I get to see books like this at our book store #mygirlscandoanything
pickNothing but the highest praise for this book. Wonderful message for young and old, and the art is soooo fun.
pickI love this book and am now a little mad at myself for not standing in line to get an autographed copy at BEA. It illustrates the the only way to fail is to quit. And that a girl can be anything she wants. Even an engineer.
Shy and quiet Rosie dreams of being a great engineer.
[its so nice to see books which celebrate the girls can do anything they set their mind to💪🏻]
pickI adore this book. It teaches kids that what matters is trying, rather than outcome. It also stars a girl and woman who are engineers. We need more books like this!
