At the bridge of his ship
He cries, “Off we go!”
To his crayon-drawn crew
As the current takes hold.

The lined paper sails
Catch the wind and then
He ventures to hideaway
Far away lands.

I love to learn. I try to learn something new each day. I thought I might as well share, alongside my messy art. So, did you know… #100dayproject #kidlit

If you have access to the curriculum, you could check the expectations for the grades. Meeting the expectations can also help the teacher :)

Wow! I loved those books, likely back in the mid 80s? I can still visualize the covers. And Sweet Valley High? Same decade.

I usually have an e-book on the go, a physical book AND an audiobook. Is that weird, lol? I can’t be the only one who reads multiple books at a time? For my next audiobook, I have to choose between The Rose Code, Where the Crawdads Sing, and A Rip through Time (all already purchased).

I just borrowed “Howl’s Moving Castle” by Diana Wynne Jones. I’ve heard it’s a good one. 🏰

#kidlitchat I’ve been teaching, mostly special education. I’ve been raising my three boys, one is 19 and twins that are almost 14. My eldest has seizures (Dravet Syndrome) and a profound intellectual disability. In the years caring for him, I lost myself. Finally trying to discover who I am again.

I just joined SCBWI this month. I’m looking forward to getting to know this community! Still working out how this BlueSky works. #kidlitchat

I’ve dabbled in so many hobbies, from pottery to calligraphy. But, the fun I had this week was simply beating the Hogwarts Legacy game on PS5. One goal accomplished on my summer holidays, lol.
