My Life is Going to the Dogs

I've been busy with dog rescue. I took a road trip to a small Tennessee town to drop off a little friend whose life was spared by a kind rescue. I wish I could take every dog home with me, but between our three fur babies and frequent canine visitors, my husband wouldn't be happy with another one. He tells me it's against the law to own four dogs in our community. He might have made that up because I haven't found anything like that online. 😂

As a result, it's taken a while, but I finally finished my new high school logic puzzle set. These are difficult to write, so I have a lot of oopsies before I get ones that work! I am especially fond of the clipart on these puzzles.

On another note, it's Monday so I decided to hop in with the Monday Music Moves Me team. It's been a while. Today's theme is national holidays. When it comes to dogs, the calendar is loaded! I counted 72 days for dogs and even one for TODAY!

Sept. 23: Adopted Dog Day

I have three adopted dogs, so this is for Benny, Amber, and Kumquat!

Here are my songs:

And my favorite dog song!

That Silly Story Which Brings a Smile

I'll never forget the day on the playground when a cute, little student showed his classmates how he could make it snow! They all gathered around this silly little guy (who came with an identical goofy twin) and oooed and ahhed over his miniature snowstorm. Thus came my inspiration for this short story called The Floridian Snow.

Your kids will love this story of a boy in southern Florida who wishes and prays for snow in the warm winter. Will he get his wish? Tee hee! He just might.

You'll have to Catch My Products to see. 

The story comes complete with eleven vocabulary words and activities, five reading comprehension questions for discussion and answers are included.

Click here to engage and challenge your students with The Floridian Snow.

Thanks for reading!
