MARCH IS READING MONTH!

Hi Guys,

It is reading month this whole month! I am so excited!

Here’s the challenge:  Let’s all read 15 to 20 minutes each day. Ready, set, read.  Also, if you need something to read to your little brothers, little sisters, and nieces and nephews, ask Mom and Dad to get my books in the Junior Rabbit Series.  You can order them on Amazon.com.  Try reading and enjoying my book entitled “Junior Rabbit Goes to Pennsylvania.  He’s on a great adventure.

Well, I have to go now, but remember this, reading opens up the world to you.

In the pages of a book you can be whoever you want to be.  Let’s get reading!!

THE NEW YEAR ROCKS!

 

Hi Guys,

I’ve been so busy writing my books, which is good; but I missed saying Happy New Year to you all.  

I am so excited for what the new year will bring for all of us.  One thing I want it to bring is more reading fun!  I’ve got two new books just waiting to be published.  I already have one that was published late last year called Junior Rabbit Travels to Pennsylvania.  He’s on the adventure of his life.  I sure hope that all of you purchase it on Amazon.com.

Well, until next time, remember Reading Rocks in 2019, too!

FUN FACTS ABOUT NOVEMBER!

Boy, Oh boy,

I have had such fun finding out about the month of November.  Read below what I found out.  Then you go online or go to your local library and see what more you can find out about November.

DID YOU KNOW THAT…

1. November’s name comes from novem, Latin for “nine.”
2. In the United States and Canada, November is also known as National Beard Month or No Shave Month (also known as “​No-Shave November“) as a way to raise cancer awareness. 
3. All Saints Day is a Christian festival held on November 1 that celebrates the lives of all saints, known and unknown.
4. Veteran’s Day, when we honor those who have served in the United States Armed Forces, falls annually on November 11. It also coincides with Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which mark the end of World War I.
5. Thanksgiving, perhaps the most popular of all American holidays after Christmas, is celebrated each year on the third Thursday of November.
6. We also get to enjoy a rare four-day weekend (with the Friday afterward, known as Black Friday, marking the traditional start of the Christmas shopping season).

That’s just a few fun facts.  Send me some more. Thanks.

THANKSGIVING!

Hi Guys,

I love the Thanksgiving season, because it helps me to look over my life and see that I am blessed a whole lot.  I know that if I have a house to live in and it’s got a bed and some food and I have clothes to wear and shoes to put on then I am blessed.  In the winter when it’s coldest, I have heat in my house and warm pajamas to put on, and a nice cup of hot chocolate to drink while I read my favorite story on my phone or tablet or I have a real book in my hands, then I am thankful. Very thankful.  

So, as this Thanksgiving season begins don’t forget to show thankfulness and thank God for all your blessings.  Also, pray that God will bless other families who don’t have what you have.  Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

Here’s a history of Thanksgiving:

Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday in the United States, and Thanksgiving 2018 occurs on Thursday, November 22. In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn’t until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.

READING REALLY ROCKS!

Hi Guys,

My friend Book man is here to talk to you.

Hi there fellow readers.  If there is one really good habit that we should have, it the habit of reading. The Library is the best place to be.  If you go to the library, you’ll see people sitting reading the newspapers and even magazines. You’ll see people buying older books and even videos to take home and watch.  

Now you might say, but I have an iPad or a tablet or a cell phone.  THAT’S GREAT! You can read on your tablet and phone, too.  I know one thing for sure.  Whatever you do, and even if you are at home, take your phone and pull up a story, download it and read it.  Guys, remember reading opens up the world to you.  So, LET’S ROCK!

VETERANS DAY

Hi Guys,

Sunday, November 11, 2018 is Veterans Day.  Here’s a brief history of Veterans Day:

Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. Unlike Memorial Day, Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans—living or dead—but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.

When Is Veterans Day?

Veterans Day occurs on November 11 every year in the United States.

So, be grateful and thankful for all the men and women who serve our great country.  Pray for them and their families, too.

Talk to you later,

Jenny

SCHOOL BAG CHECKLIST

Well guys,

I know that some of you will be going to school by the end of this month of August and some will be back in school right after Labor Day in September.  Whatever the date, it’s time to pull out that old backpack from last semester and see what you can take into your new semester. Let’s see how to help mom and dad out this year:

1. If you have pencils with good erasers, put them into your new backpack or pencil box.  It can save mom and dad money when buying school supplies, not only that but it help you to learn how to save money and good resources.
2. If you have crayons that are still good, put them into your backpack, too.  Whatever you do, take the broken up crayons and put them in a dollar store shoe box and keep them in a neat place in your room to use when at home.  
3. Use for the new semester folders that you didn’t use before or that are still in good condition
4. Find those scissors from last semester. They’re still good and get them ready for the new school year.
5. Open those drawers, look under the bed, behind the dressers, and in the closet and get all of the socks, pants, blouses, tee-shirts, jeans and underwear that you still wear and are good. Make sure to get them washed or wash them yourself with mom, dad, big sister or big brother’s supervision and then put them in your drawers and hang them up in your closets so they’ll be ready for the new school year. 

If you do all  of that then when you ask them for that expensive pair of gym shoes, you just might get them.

FUN AT SCHOOL CHECKLIST

Wow! The summer is almost over, and in a few weeks, school will be back in session.  Now, I know that some might be saying, “Awww… I don’t want to go back to school right now. I’M HAVING TOO MUCH FUN!  That’s great that you have had a fun time for the months you’ve been away from school.  In fact, you should be ready to go back to school because remember, school is fun, too!

 

At school you can:

• See your friends you may not have seen during the summer
• Get into that after school club you’ve been wanting to get into
• Join the football, baseball, soccer, track, tennis, and more teams
• Help make school a better place by volunteering to clean up around the outside of your school
• Become a member of the student council at school, helping the voice of the students to be heard
• Volunteer to read to the kids in the school Library
• Help plan the next school grounds events

I mean there are so many fun and wonderful things you can do at school. So, now look forward to going back to school.  You’ll have fun there, too.  Oh yes, and remember read a book about 20 minutes every day. The world opens up to anyone who reads a book!

Talk to you later.
