Peak Of The Week- It’s Wednesday, Time for things that piqued my interest this week!!

March 29, 2017 by Sharon

Happy Wednesday everyone!! It’s been a busy week. Here are a few things that made me stop and think this week!!

Non-fiction books are my favorite genre. Here is a list of life changing books! These are all short and although some have hard subject matter, they are easy to read!

We always hear of ways to stage our homes for selling- this article shares how to stage our home for living. It really made me think of what I keep in my home!!

I love this idea! It would be so fun to do with students as a fun activity using books!! It reminds me of the old “game” you can play with fortune cookies when you get one at a Chinese food restaurant- you all have to know this— You read your fortune cookie and add at the end “in bed.” We have laughed so hard over the years with that as the context of the fortune cookie. Of course, when my kids were with us we added “on the pot” instead. Fortune cookies are pretty funny in that context as well.
So here is my favorite book with the phrase added: 

When he was nearly thirteen my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow. And then the murders began.
