THERE’S A HOLE IN THE WORLD?
|
Lately, the things I see and the words I read are so confusing. The words I hear all seem to have double meaning. Let me explain.
One day, I overheard a conversation between my neighbor, Mrs. Johnson, and her daughter. The daughter, J-lynn, was doing her homework. She wrote, “This is a picture of the hole world.” Her mom said, “Don’t you mean whole world?” J-lynn insisted, “No, Mom. It’s the hole world.” Homophones are used often as vocabulary and spelling strategies which are important for writing. Understanding homophones can also contribute to a child’s overall reading proficiency. |

In this book, Ms. Lovekids continues the story of Senora Cruz and her former class. She discusses the implementation of “looping”, a method of teaching in which the educator follows their previous class into a new year, hence, the stories of her class continues. The narrator recounts events from the latter year and reflects on how the lessons Senora Cruz taught, though humorous, about germs and cleanliness, would have a surprising affect on her class this year.Her “Spread love, not germs” class motto would be a statement the class would never forget. The discussion of germs and diseases would become an eventual conversationin the world as a result of COVID-19 and its affect on children, parents, and educators.

Homework Rules!” is Ms. Lovekids’ mantra as many of her former students can attest. In this book the teacher Senora Cruz is serious about giving ample amounts of homework, but not all of her students agree with her position on the topic. Debates and types of differentiated debates are another focus of this book. Teachers, home school facilitators and parents will find the information in this book most helpful for teaching or reviewing various debates. A debate is held to discuss the student’s views on the subject of homework.
Sometime later there is a “Best Behavior” competition at the school. Their class wins, but Senora Cruz is not happy with the prize offered to her class. What could cause her to be disturbed about the prize? Read “A COVID 19 Story For Kids…” to explore how the pandemic affected Mrs. Cruz’s class. |
