Teaching Happily Ever After  is having a "Favorite Read Alouds" Linky Party!  I couldn't wait to share mine!

My all time favorite is "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane" by Kate DeCamillo.  

This is a story of a child's toy who thinks of no one but himself.  Unexpectedly, he becomes lost.  His journey, as he becomes the toy of many different owners, teaches him what it means to love and be loved.  It characters are rich and the settings easily capture a child's imagination.  The children love it, every year!

Here is my "Monday Made It"!  In my Math Class, we often use dry erase markers.  The kids love them but, I wasn't able to find a good solution for erasing.  Tissues are wasteful. Old socks got lost.   Then, I found this idea on Pinterest.  

It's very easy to make.  Just hot glue a pom pom on the opposite end of the dry erase marker tip, much like the eraser on a pencil.  I'm going to store them in a flower pot to make a cute display.  

Thank you, Ovata Bell, for sharing this idea!
