I missed yesterday because my family was busy celebrating my graduation from college! I am so close to having my classroom and my very own group of kiddos. I am so lucky to have a wonderful family that is so so beyond supportive. My mom knows that I am crazy in love with apples and got me the most perfect necklace for my graduation!

| I like to think I have a tradition of always getting Tiffany's for graduation. |
 |
| I never post pictures of myself but my sister did my make up and she did a great job of making me feel so confident and beautiful! |
 |
| This is what was in my Tiffany's box! It is a gorgeous apple. I am so in love with it! |
 |
| My little tutor girl got this for me and I love so much! I have always wanted a teacher ornament for myself! |
Since I missed yesterday I am going to do a Jan Brett double feature. It seems to me that Christmas is a little less whimsical when she is not around. I recently read The Animal’s Santa and Home for Christmas. To begin I just want to say that I love love love how she draws. The pictures tell a story of their own.. I love how the little elf's look mischievous and the animals faces show all of their emotion.
In Home for Christmas ,Jan writes of a little elf’s adventures and all of the trouble that he gets in. I read this past year to one of the boys that I babysit and he loved it. Elf's seem like such magical creature especially at the this time of year.
In The Animal’s Santa, a group of animals learn that you don't have to see to believe. It follows two rabbits, the older brother wants his little brother to know the magic of Christmas. In the end the little bunny learns who the Animals Santa is and everyone is so happy.
I love using all of Jan Brett’s books to work on making predictions. The picture help with those students who struggle with read and the books are written beautifully so that both children and adults can join it.
What do you love about Jan Brett? Are you all ready for the last week before Christmas break?
Happy Holidays,
Ms. Cara
