Emily's Sharing and Caring Book

Emily's Sharing and Caring Book by Cindy Post Senning and Peggy Post and Illustrated by Leo Landry (Ages 4-8)

In an effort to find better ways to tie in manners and etiquette into my children's lives, in addition to my own, I've discovered Emily Post through here and will being doing more follow up through the Institute. I love this little book and look forward to sharing the others with my younsters.

Not only can we talk about Sharing with and Caring through the book, but I can tie in examples of their behavior through the day whether straightforward kudos or needs additional positive reinforcement. Their smiles and giggles tell me that they love it too. "What would Emily do?" is something I can see as being our family's way to intervene with inappropriate behavior and allow an instant "in" to talk about the moment if needed.

Luck

Although I don't remember it very often and it is something I need to work on, but I love it when I realize how lucky I can get sometimes. A couple of weeks ago I snagged a classic at the library for my little ones. I couldn't resist. It is a classic. Or at least I think it is. Here is the lucky part. The kiddos started school last week and on Friday my son brings home his first homework assignment. He's in Pre -K. Please work with your children on the following sight words. This will help them have a head start in kindergarten. Thank you so much for your cooperation! go at here down and These same words are all throughout this short and sweet board book. Go and See .

A More Economical Way to Acquire and Recycle Books

I love books. I almost think that I’m a book-a-holic because I drool over and snap up books like some women do shoes. Like many, as the economy dives, I’ve had to cut back from my usual book buying haunts in search of cheaper and more economical resources. In the beginning, I went cold turkey and started to get any book that I wanted from the library – test drive it to see if I really wanted it. Then I really started to pay attention to the library’s annual book sales and, of course, the books that they have for sale in the foyer every day. Can’t go wrong with $1.00 hard cover and $0.50 paperbacks! I’ve gotten many ‘steals’ from browsing this selection. Unfortunately, the selection can be quite limiting. Thankfully, I stumbled upon a new and upcoming online bookswap service called BooksfreeSwap.com. It was created earlier this year as an easier way to swap books and audiobooks online.
