Monthly Pinterest Boards To Go Along With The NEW "Library Celebrations & Reading Promotions" Google Doc!

A few weeks ago I shared the new Library Celebrations & Reading Promotions Google Document in this blog post here.

It is turning out to be filled with wonderful resources, ideas and something for everyone as we celebration reading and learning throughout the year.

As my daughter Brianna and I worked on filling in the Google Doc, we realized it would be very special and helpful to create a Pinterest Board for each month too.

You can find the Pinterest Boards on the Google Doc under Resources.  

When you go to the Google Doc, you will see that we have added...

the Back-to-School and...

June...Library Celebrations & Reading Promotions Pinterest boards so far.

You can follow these boards and even be added as a Collaborator.  We would love to see your terrific ideas too.

Over the next few weeks, make sure you check back into the Library Celebrations & Reading Promotions Google Document to follow all of the Pinterest Boards we will be creating to support each month too.  Don't forget....you can find them under the Resources column.

Together we are making this a wonderful place to come throughout the year as we enrich our library and reading programs.

Let's Share Our Ideas For Using Cantata Learning Books and Music in the Library, Classroom and Home!

There are so many wonderful ways to use Cantata Learning books and music in the library, classroom and at home.

I have created a Padlet to make sharing our ideas and resources very easy.

Please add yours to the Padlet.

 All you have to do to add to the Padlet, is double click on the wall.

A box will pop up where you can add your name or title of the post, write something and....

Add an Attachement which can be a link from the web, upload or you can even take a photo from the Padlet post.

It is that easy!

I can't wait to see all of the ideas and resources that are shared on this Padlet.  It will give all of us even more ways we can use the Cantata Learning books and music!

Visit The Planets With NASA and Cantata Learning!

These beautiful posters from NASA recently caught our attention.  

The Visions of the Future posters are a glimpse into our imagination of what the future might look like.  I love to think about what the innovators and explorers of the future will bring to us.  

All of these posters can be downloaded and printed from the NASA website. 

You will find this information there. 

This is one of my favorite from the set.  Hagan and I printed off this one to hang up in his room.  

When I saw this post on the Cantata Learning Facebook page, I thought of so many other super fun connections and ideas for these posters by using one of my favorite science books and songs from Cantata. 

Visit the Planets by Wes Schuck and illustrated by Marcin Piwowarski is part of the My First Science Songs from Cantata Learning.

This book takes young readers on a trip through the solar system with a wonderful story and song, paired with beautiful and engaging illustrations.

I love how fun the planets are in the book.  Their expressions make the story and learning experience come to life.  

The music for Visit the Planets and all of the Cantata titles, can be found here. 

By pairing this fun song and book along with the NASA posters, you can turn this into a creative learning experience and have students create their own posters to be displayed and shared too.
