I was perusing the internet for fun and engaging teaching ideas and educational resources for parents and teachers. I stumbled onto TeacherVision.  The site has a plethora of activities and lesson plan ideas for students in grades K-12. It allows you to choose lessons and activities by holiday, grade level, subject, and even by theme.  I LOVE this site. I literally felt like i struck gold!  The site is great for teachers, but parents will also love it. I've listed some of my favorite links from the website.

These days it seems that I spend more time participating in book events in Dallas than Houston.  Well, something keeps pulling me back.  This time it was Give More HUGS.  The nonprofit celebrated Global Youth Service Day in Dallas, San Angelo, Temple and San Antonio.

The two day event included writing inspirational messages in books to give students hope.  Then there was the Book Fair Share where youth come in to choose books of their liking at no charge.  It was, once again, an honor to be a part of this motivational event.

If you are looking for positive books that elevate and inspire children of color, look no more! Click on the linked image below to access the author's gallery.
