Weekend Reads 11-13-10

November 13, 2010 by notjustcute Filed Under: Uncategorized, Weekend Reads 4 Comments

Here’s a smattering of great posts that got me thinking this week:

Kat at Inspired to Action inspired me with How to Be  a Rockstar with 30 minutes and a Pink Tablecloth.  A great reminder that simple things can make a big difference for our kids!  And Kat must be on to something, because I tagged her guest post, Giving Your Children the Best Day at Steady Mom before realizing it was the same author!

As a mom to 3 boys this post got my attention: Boys and Reading: Tips to Make Reading Boy Friendly

If you’re looking for great activities, check out:

 Paper Roll Puppets at No Time for Flashcards.  Simple and so fun!

Erin at Laugh Paint Create had a brilliant idea for using foam shapes and glue sticks to make stampers!  Check out her Falling Leaves  art activity.

I love this active spin on the Gratitude Jar from Valerie at Frugal Family Fun.

A quick and easy open-ended sorting activity from the Activity Mom.

What got you thinking this week?

    Here is another article about getting boys to read (I have 3 boys as well!) I thought it was wonderful.

    And speaking of boys, this was another great article on raising them: http://articles.cnn.com/2010-11-03/living/o.raise.good.husband_1_real-boys-boy-code-william-pollack?_s=PM:LIVING

I’m Amanda Morgan. Here’s what I’m about…

In early education, there is too much distance between what we know and what we do. I bridge the gaps that exist between academia, decision-makers, educators, and parents so that together, we can improve the quality of early education while also respecting and protecting the childhood experience.
