About Colorado Springs, CO

I read a great book about Colorado Springs, CO. Here is a picture taken there and I've annotated some information about the book.

Muggie Maggie

Cleary, B. (1991). Muggie Maggie. Harper Collins: New York.

Realistic Fiction
Chapter Book

This story centers around Maggie's refusal to learn cursive. While everyone tries to encourage her to learn, she is adamant that she will not acquire this new skill. Maggie's teacher finally gets her to learn cursive in a supportive rather than confrontational way. Maggie is a funny and likable character that will appeal to kids in grades 3-5.

I would use this book when teaching cursive to show that writing can be hard for some students. I would also talk with students about a time that they had to do something that was hard and how they overcame that obstacle. It would be both a great read aloud book as well as a good one for book groups (guided reading or literature circles).

Maggie

This is a picture of Maggie, a Scottish Terrier that we are fostering. We get to keep her for at least a week and then decide if we want to adopt her. So far, the guys love her! I picked her up today and then got them from school early. They played with her all afternoon and then took her on a walk in the neighborhood. Max made me laugh so hard because we stopped to meet different dogs and he said, "You know, a lot of dogs look like rugs." Then they were asking if they could give her tons of treats and I said, "Then she would be fat Maggie." Max said with a smirk, "Or Big Rug." Yeah, I can see that.

Ryan has been so excited, just dreaming about what he and Maggie would do. However, it was Kyle that threw the ball to her over and over. He loved taking her all around the back yard and walking playing with his friends! Max really loved walking her and asked me if I could teach him how to feed and care for her so he could help more.

Max has always been a bit hesitant around dogs, but he has really warmed up to Maggie. Kyle and Ryan keep asking if we can keep her for sure. I don't think they like that she is being fostered and that we are CONSIDERING her rather than for sure keeping her.
