Happy release day!!! 🖍️ Storytelling math i Happy release day!!! 🖍️ 

Storytelling math is back with a cerulean surprise! 

Gabi gets a new box of crayons for her birthday and César wants to borrow cerulean. The problem is, Gabi doesn’t know which crayon is cerulean and won’t let César touch them. She starts asking questions to figure out which crayon is cerulean. 

This is a fun twist on twenty questions and a great way to approach a problem you don’t know - start with what you do know (Gabi new rojo, naranja, and azul and used it to figure out what color was cerulean.) I love that it includes Spanish words with a glossary in the back! 

This is a must have for your classroom library! These storytelling math books are so much fun and kids absolutely love them!

Many thanks to @charlesbridgepublishing for sending me a copy of the book🖍️🩵

@simonkids is back again with some incredible read @simonkids is back again with some incredible ready to read books! 

We have dinosaurs, whales, dogs, ponies, pizza, and… poop?! 

Honestly, my favorite book is ‘Don’t waste the poop!” It was so fun and I know that kiddos are going to love it! 

I also really loved “The dog and pony show.” It is a ready to read graphic and is a great introduction to graphic novels and comics. It includes easy to read sight words and decodable words so your kiddos can read a great story while working on essential reading skills! 

Swipe to see a sneak peek along each book ➡️

Many thanks to @simonkids for sending me copies of the books 🩷
