Ms. Blumhagen's Book Nook

Take time this evening to enjoy a fairytale for National Tell a Fairy Tale Day! What was your favourite fairytale growing up? I love this collection of fairytales of brave and brilliant girls. As well as the background story on each!

I’m super excited to be starting a Language Arts unit on Magazines! Not only do they make me nostalgic of my youth, but the sky is truly the limit! I’m looking forward to magazines with themes about dogs, Lego, dirt biking, Pokemon, owls, makeup, Minecraft and more! I love how a simple book can incite so much excitement!

Remember to choose kind, always.

Happy National Love Your Pet Day! I’m pretty sure this sounds like a holiday Nimbus made up, but that won’t stop me grabbing the treat bag later today! Anyone else’s animals adore books and boxes?

My furry helper is just as excited to learn about where his food comes from. After two full days of professional development I’m buzzing with excitement over not just teaching this, but living it. What if these pictures could walk off the page and into the schoolyard?

I may not teach Math, but that doesn’t mean I don’t challenge my students with Math as well. I’ve been blown away with how popular this Times Tables book has been! Lift the Flap books are easy bribery to make any subject fascinating!

As part of my Winter Book Club, many cute activity books like this were included! I can’t help but imagine my 1990’s self dying of happiness from all these adorable stickers! Was a gone one else sticker crazy back in the 90’s?

When people think you’re just a kitty, but you’re also a kitty that likes to learn about planet Earth. He still thinks to be a book worm, one must physically ingest the knowledge though. Learn more facts in 100 Things to Know About Planet Earth.

Is it ever too early to start planning your garden? Asking for a friend! It’s Friday, the sun is shining and I am already ready to start ordering seeds for the Spring! This Little Lift and Look book on Gardens is the perfect fix for the little gardener in your life. With lots of liftable flaps, it’s sure to bring a little summer warmth to any season!

Farm Snap! This windy day has me thinking of indoor activities for recess. While we are still stuck at home this week, I’m excited to introduce this game to my class when card games are something we can play together again!

Recess! With at least a week of At Home Learning ahead of me, I am trying to make sure I take a break from technology too! Isn’t this new graphic novel beautiful? I used to always watch the movie at my grandparents in Lethbridge growing up! Anyone else with fond memories of this story?

There is a quote out there somewhere about doing something each day that scare you. YouTube scares me, but I conquered it and created my own channel for books! Enjoy this musical video for a sneak peek into the new release The Animal Orchestra Plays Mozart! https://youtu.be/blPHnRDd2wk
