The One When Peanut Started Second Grade #slice2014


Every Tuesday, I participate in the Slice of Life challenge at Two Writing Teachers. If you want to participate, you can link up at their Slice of Life Story Post on Tuesdays or you can just head on over there to check out other people's stories. For more information on what a Slice of Life post is about, you can go here

Today my oldest baby (Peanut) starts second grade. I can't believe how fast time goes! We have a tradition of writing letters to Peanut in a picture book and giving it to him the night before his first day of school. I wrote about this Book-School tradition that we started when he went to kindergarten at Nerdy Book Club. I love bookish traditions and am happy we started this with Peanut. 
This year, we gave him Extra Yarn by Mac Barnett with illustrations by Jon Klassen. I love the message of Extra Yarn, that we can always give to others and that we should do our best to be generous in our giving and in our friendships. I think it's a perfect message for starting second grade.

What are your favorite books for 2nd graders? I would love to hear what book you would pick out for the first day of school for a 2nd grader...or for any other grade!
