Welcome to Litsy!

I do read self-help! Per my last post, you‘ll see one I finished last night and I explain why I find them invaluable.

But the tagged book is probably the one that has helped me the most. It‘s a quick read, but the concept of kaizen has infiltrated my life and helped me accomplish goals. Starting small is how I‘ve managed to be consistent with fitness for over a year and a half, CrossFit specifically for 11 months.

Great story for children to talk about climate change using child centered language

“But the little house grew sadder and sadder, for the trees and flowers were gone, and the country roads had become paved streets.“

Although somewhat fictionalized, this book teaches children about the changes in nature and the impact of urbanization through the life of a little house in the country.

#shelfie We‘re moving house and I‘m so sad about leaving my beautiful book shelves behind. We had these made for us, to take up the entire wall in our lounge room. We don‘t have shelves ready to move them into, so the books will sit in boxes for a while…
My husband and I are trying to cull, but it‘s tough. I know you feel me. 🥺📚📦

“But time went on, and the little house could not hold back the city.”

I would use this book if it aligned with our curriculum and the topic for that week

I liked how this book touched on nostalgia and the importance of a home. It was a very good read

“Because acorn was an oak... but still a little wild inside.“

Anytime I've read this in the classroom, students are always laughing and have been able to make great predictions of what will happen to acorn next. I love reading this story when it becomes fall.
