Yeehaw!!!  There’s another product in the store!
(The mascot at the school where I’ve taught for the last 16 years is a bronco, so “yeehaw” just comes naturally when I’m excited about accomplishing something. 🙂 It was regularly heard in my classroom and our campus)
I just love Jane Yolen’s Off We Go! The text is fun and Laurel Molk’s illustrations are delightful. For my background with the book and an explanation of English Language Arts Activities read the blog post or check out the ELA product in the store.
