Welcome to Litsy!

Spent the day in the pool yesterday and butterflies were everywhere. Felt inspired (not my pic).

Fancy fluttering
flitting freely — fabulous,
flirty, fantastic. 🦋

Two books in my TBR were left in my Little Free Library this week! #bookhaul #serendipity #littlefreelibrary

“And that night, someone else was changed. That is how it happens. “

I would use Because by Mo Willems (2019) in my classroom to help students explore their interests and find inspiration from the past. For example, if a student enjoys art, they will research influential artists who shaped their passion. Then, they would share their inspiration by saying, “Because of Van Gogh, I want to create art.“ The goal of the assignment is to inspire students through the work of others and encourage their passions.

Because by Mo Willems (2019) is a captivating story that celebrates the power of music and inspiration. The protagonist reflects on how past musicians' achievements motivated her to create her music. The vibrant illustrations beautifully capture her growth, making her journey feel inspiring and relatable. Through her music, the story encourages readers to find their inspiration and pursue their passions with confidence.

I would use this book to inspire my students to persue their passions. I would have them look at people that inspire their passion and explore how they got there.
