My Renovated Rocking Chair! (Pinterst Project)

I recently finished painting a $20 rocking chair I found at the thift store. I am so excited to have a rocking chair for my library area. Although it didn't turn out exactly how I imagined, I still thinks it's cute and it adds a pop of color to my class. Thoughts?

Favorite Children's Author Linky Party

There are many children's authors that I adore but I would have to say one of my favorites is definitely Jon Scieszka! Students love hearing and reading his books and as an adult, I find them hilarious as well. If I could pick a favorite illustrator as well it would definitely be Lane Smith. Smiths illustration's make Scieszka's words even funnier and even Smith's books without Scieszka are amazing! Some of my favorite books by Scieszka are:
 
     

I also created an author study for Jon Scieszka, which you can find here.

Some of my other favorite children's author's include David Shannon, Kevin Henkes, Joanna Cole,and Dr. Seuss (his older works like Oh the Places You'll Go, The Lorax, and You're Only Old Once). Head over to Clutter Free Classroom and link up!
