Usborne Books & More

I started my UBAM business pretty recently and, to be honest, I originally only said “yes” because I wanted a discount on the books. 🤷‍♀️ But what I have found already is a passion for these books, EXCITEMENT to get them in the hands of children, and the opportunity to connect with parents like you. I am already starting to see this as a way to grow myself as a real business woman and share a product I really LOVE.

As a teacher, I want literacy to be of HUGE importance in every single family. This is so important to me because I see the impact home life has on kids. I can usually tell which students read with their families and which haven’t been exposed to much literature at home.

My goal as a teacher is to help kids learn; my goal as a book lady is to help PARENTS help their kids learn. 💕

Technology

As our world is growing and becoming more advanced in technology, there are more and more resources for children to use technology in an effective and appropriate manner! Here I will share tech resources for iPads, iPhones, MacBooks, PCs, Chromebooks, and other tablets. I will also share some tips and tricks that you can use with these devices to help your children/students learn!

Reading

Books! Stories! Adventure! Imagination! Explore!

Books can transform a child’s life. They can create wonder, amazement, bewilderment. They can transport you to new worlds and help you feel empathy for imaginary characters. They can teach you and help you grow. Encourage your children to read — but not just anything! Encourage them to ENJOY the books they read! A lot of kids struggle to read when they are told to, but will do it willingly if it’s something they chose to read. Tap into that and develop that sense of choice and interest in your children/students!

Here I will give ideas on genres, book ideas for different reading levels, and tips on how to help struggling readers! ♥️

Science!

Science is my FAVORITE subject to teach! It’s just so intriguing being able to learn about our Galaxy, our world, and everything in it! It’s really incredible the way the world works.

My favorite type of scientific study is neuroscience! Our brains are just so incredibly complex and interesting, the way we process information and emotion, knowledge and intricate ideas. I just get so enamored with the brain and all it’s capabilities!

A lot of my science posts are going to start out with brain activities, ones that will help your children/students learn all about some incredible things the brain does! We will start with our five senses: touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight!
