This morning I thought I would share a book that most of us already know…The OK Book! It’s written by one of my favourite authors, Amy Krause Rosenthal. The illustrator, Tom Lichtenheld, does such a great job using the letters ‘OK’ to support the story that Amy is telling about trying all sorts of different things…perhaps making happy mistakes! Like flipping a pancake on your head! 🙂

Just press play to watch the story…

Feel free to watch the story as many times as you’d like and think about what YOU might like to try while you’re safe at home. Perhaps you’d like to bake some cookies or prepare supper. Maybe you want to learn to knit or crochet. Maybe you want to perfect your cartwheel or juggle your soccer ball. So many possibilities! Take this time to set a goal for yourself and maybe even become more than just ‘OK’. 🙂 As Amy says at the end…”Is it just the beginning?”

While you’re thinking about your plans, here’s another challenge! Picture yourself as the OK character in the story and try to draw OK doing what you’ve set as your goal. If you would like to share, I would love to see your illustrations! You can post them in the comments below or send them to my email: pam.hossack@burnabyschools.ca  If you’re ‘ok’ with me sharing them with our community, I can post them here, as well. Feel free to also just send what your goal might be…you might give others an idea!

Good morning, Lovelies!

If you’re here, you have remembered where to find the Library tab on our Clinton homepage. The usual Catalogue link and Web Resources link are there, but you’ll have noticed the new one…a blog!! It’s what I’m going to use to stay in touch with you and your families. 🙂

Remember when I wished you “Happy Mistakes” at the beginning of the year?? Well, here’s our chance! I’ve been making many happy mistakes as I learn about blogging and I’m challenging myself. The blog will grow and change as we figure out what is the best way to keep in touch and allow me to support you as you grow and change. Learning from home will give you a chance to learn and discover in a whole different way than we usually do at school. It’s more than OK to feel unsure and maybe a little overwhelmed…if you can’t figure it out yourself, just ask for help! Even though we’re a little further away from each other than usual, we’re all in this together!

I invite you all to check back here often and engage with me and the items that I’ll be posting. I am excited to have made my first post and connected with you…I miss you!!

Happy Mistakes!
Mrs. H.
