My doggie is included in the picture collage because as I am trying to work on my pc, he is interrupting to go outside, in the 16 degree weather, to show off his bone to our neighbor's dog. He's a goofball!
Blessings,
Noreen
He's a very cute goofball!
ReplyDeleteI'd have to agree with you Mary!
DeleteThe Giving Tree, Shel Silverstein. So totally appropriate that my little man knew instantly to connect the story line to Jesus' sacrifice for us. keeps them captivated the entire time. :)
ReplyDeleteImpressive that your little man got that. I'll have to try it then for sure with my first grade class and see if they're as perceptive! What other books do you read with your younger children?
DeleteNoreen,
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed with your photo collage. Have you been visiting Picmonkey?
I don't think we have any Lenten children's books. They are not as easy to come by as Advent and Christmas books. I guess it's not too late to start a collection. Even though my girls aren't so little any more, they still enjoy picture books. I shall have to bookmark your list and buy one book at a time. This is what I do each Christmas. I usually order a new book or two to add to the collection every Advent.
God bless!
What's the library system like in Australia? All of the books I've listed are from our local library or within the interlibrary loan system. I feel that as a teacher, I want to find resources that my student's families can get at the library. I don't want to encourage them to buy it but to borrow it, that's ok.
DeleteAnd yes, I've been playing around on monkey pic!
DeleteGreat list, Noreen! I'm going to have to check into a few of those for my kids! Thanks so much! And thanks for linking up, too! Hope your Lent is going well! Blessings!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting Jennifer and bringing us all together!
DeleteNoreen, I'm looking forward to checking out the books on your list. I only own a couple of them and would like to add a few to my small collection of Easter books. Thanks for the list! Oh, and your dog is absolutely adorable. Great pics! : )
ReplyDeleteGreat titles! I don't have too many Lenten titles and was just lamenting over this the other day! Thanks for the help!!! Lovely crown of thorns with candle. Puppy is cute too!
