Let's Look at the Earths Biomes!

Or Different Places on Earth have similar Categorical Behaviors

Book Title: Many Biomes, One Earth by Sneed B. Collard III, illustrated by James M. Needham

I've always enjoyed natural science, and since starting @tumpskyandmrssmall on Youtube, I now have a playlist under science that is easier to check out.

This children picture book reveals natural conditions of areas on earth, that can be categorized and grouped! What belongs in say the biome, "Chaparral?" It's science linguistics (Lingo) that scientist use to communicate better when discussing an area of study. How cool is that! Every natural science wannabe should get to know and understand these areas from all over the world! You'll be ahead of the pack and impress others with knowledge to share in your classroom or with friends out on the playground. What sort of biome do you live in, the Moutain's, the Forrest, the Dessert? I think you are about to find out.

Circles are Fun and Everywhere you Look!

Round is the Name of this weeks Children's Book and Read Aloud

Tumpsky & Mrs Small (Link)

A lovely uplifting picture book is ready for you to check out on T&MS! Circle shapes are everywhere kids, get your eye-spy glasses on and count how many you can find! Make a list to tally them up and see if your friends and family find the same ones you eye-spied!

The author, Joyce Sidman and illustrator Taeeun Yoo have put together an uplifting, curious book. After your children read it they will be further busy looking for circles everywhere. Circles are round, but 'round' is technically a three dimensional thing. Some examples would be; a ball, the moon (though it looks flat), seeds, an orange, etc.

But here is where the fun comes in...kids will start noticing other shapes around them and the eye-spy game will morph into triangles, squares, ovals, rectangles. It will go on and on. A great book for stepping into geometry! Kudos to the author/illustrator for broadening the basics in life and using our surroundings for teaching our youth.

Many Umbrellas will Chase those Clouds Away!

The Umbrella by, Beth Ferry and Tom Lichtenheld

Uplifting and Bright... moving away from those grey doldrums.

A cute little story that helps us thru the doldrums that rain can bring. It's about a young girl and her puppy who are determined to go out and do all the things they would do on a regular sunny day. Hurrying to town, rain pouring down, she looks in the window of a junk shop, stops and goes in...yes, of course with her puppy! They both find a straggled umbrella that is bright yellow, unusable, and frankly aghast! What was the shop keeper thinking? But no hesitation, the young girl says 'wrap it up!' Thank goodness it was free, with the free tag showing.

As the rain pours down and the young girl hurries back home the umbrella sheds what little pieces of material is left on its metal frame. The image of yellow bits scattered all over the wet ground and grass is sad. But... the next day a miracle happens. No I can't tell you...... that would spoil the story. Just know it's a good ending. Hee hee. Great for 1st Grade, K, Pre-K.

The extra story that's included in the video on Youtube is called, Mission Addition, by Loreen Leedy....that would be a great teachers name. Anyway, it is a minimally animated story about a school teacher a, "Ms. Hippo," who helps the children/animal-critters, learn math the fun way, as Gumshoes! Great for 1st Graders!
