Reading Journal Sale and Free Worksheet!

in Uncategorized on 13/08/15

Of course you’re busy thinking about school supplies and lunch boxes.  Last week, Hadley, Harper, and I were getting into the car to go somewhere and Harper said, “The wind sounds different.  It sounds like fall wind.” We listened for a second to see if we could hear the difference between seasonal winds, and I swear I heard the sound of sharpening pencils and pops of three-ring binders.  School is a-comin’.

But why not get the kiddos ready (and dare I say excited?) for the stories they’ll sit with when they’re in school?  How about a little creative preliminary exercise or two?

There’s no doubt the Superhero cape is a favorite among readers.

Or, how about making a scrapbook of the stories you read from a character’s point of view?

And poetry. There’s never a bad time to think poetically.

There’s still a few days left of summer, and to celebrate those remaining days, our journals are on sale.  Plus, Becky designed a Superhero coloring page that we are giving away for free with a purchase of an Elementary or Middle School reading journal.

Design a cape for yourself and a cape for one of the heroes you met in a story. Worksheets will be emailed to (print as many as you like!) upon purchase.

Here’s to finding all kinds of heroes in the last stretch of summer

Hi! I’m Callie. I’m a writer and teacher living in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I write Creative Nonfiction, and in my oldest daughter Hadley’s words, I “use my imagination to add a bit of sparkle to the story.” I’m a contributor for Coffee+Crumbs, Off the Page, Makes You Mom, and Relief Journal. My writing has also been featured on Art House America, Tweetspeak Poetry, Good Letters, and Altarwork, and in 2014 I was one of the cast members of the Listen To Your Mother DC show.

I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Seattle Pacific University, and I am working on my first book that will be published through TS Poetry Press.

When I was in fourth grade, I got my front tooth k When I was in fourth grade, I got my front tooth knock out during a baseball game. I was in the dugout, trying to make a butterfly in the dirt with my shoe. The batter, who’d hit not just a home run, but a grand slam, came running in and everyone cheered and so did I because I’d gotten really good at reading cues for when a good thing happens in sports. I even attempted a high five, and somehow I knocked my face into her batting helmet, thus spending the good part of that weekend summer day in the dentist’s office getting a root canal.

No teeth were lost in this latest incident, but I was lost in a bit of imagining on Sunday when I tripped and fell on Packard while running. I look like I’ve been in a bar fight and my shoulder looks similar to how Wesley’s looked after being attacked by an ROUS. 

But I’m going into work today, and when I told my boss I’m nervous about how I look she said, “It’s OK because you have a story,” and if that isn’t the best thing you could ever say to me, I’m not sure what is. 

So, here I am with a story. Thanks to all my friends and family who’ve been so kind and keeping me laughing.
