Hi Friends!
I know some of you are deep into the Bachelor Finale right now so I will make this post quick! Does anyone else think the end of Bachelor is going to be a train wreck?
I am throwing a Spring Break Sale in both my stores starting now until tomorrow night. I have added my absolute favorite book study of the year to my shops! (I think I always say that, but when I pulled it out to take pictures, my 10 year old son said, “Awww, I remember Elmer!”) It’s just a sweet memorable story about an elephant that discovers being different is a GREAT thing! It’s also great to teach it when you are doing your math lessons on shapes and geometry, but it can be done ANYTIME of year! We are doing it when we come back from Spring Break.
Here’s a peek at the book study and craftivity!

March 13, 2012 at 2:04 amAwww! Elmer and stuffed Elmer were a gift to my oldest son (10) when he was one…it became is FAVORITE book AND animal…EVERY night!…sometimes two or three times…he would "read" it with me and I couldn't skip anything to try and get out of there because he would catch me!!!! For almost a solid two years!
I love your lesson, the craftivity…{I am totally typing through tears right now}

March 13, 2012 at 9:11 pmI guess I will admit that I have never read/heard of this story, but after seeing your cute elephant I think I might get it the next time I'm at the bookstore so that I can do this cute craft with my kiddos.
