Something From Nothing

Alright now that the guest writer has recieved the record amount of comments, it's now my turn to start writing again. So this past week I have supplied 4 days and it was a great experience! I love being in a class room setting, it's where I feel most comfortable (job wise). At the school I am currently supplying at, the teacher in her outline of the day had asked that the supply teacher (moi) read a story to the grade 2's while they are having lunch (sneaky way to keep them behaved). Seeing as I carry short stories on me at all times I decided to read Angela's Airplane the first day, next was Jillian Jiggs, and the third day the kids had some books all picked out for me and I covered 3 in one sitting! I am getting quite good at my reading voice (if I don't say so myself!) Ha! Last night as I was looking through all my stories to prepare for today, I came a across a story called "Something From Nothing" written by Phoebe Gilman. A teacher from one of my placement had said it was her absolute fav...so today I decided to read it to the class...all were in tuned and thought it was a great and memorable book! Such a great message also! This book can also be incorporated into the curriculum by creating different activities that goes with the story line. I have a few lessons saved if you need them! If you're not a teacher, an amazing book to give, read or share! (The pictures are superb and tell their own story too!)
Background: Joseph's Grandpa can fix anything. He can turn a worn out blanket into a wonderful jacket, a vest into a Sabbath tie, a ragged handkerchief into a brand-new button, but when the button is lost, what's to be done? Even Grandpa can't make something from nothing.
