The easiest way to open your mind to new ideas and concepts is to open a book and read.

Books for the Early Childhood Educators who LOVE to read!
Cozying up with a good book has always been a favorite pastime of mine. Getting lost in a story. Learning something new. Conversations and debates about books and topics. So, I’ve decided to share my passion with you! This is for those passionate early childhood readers! A collections of the books I have…ones I have but haven’t read yet…and the ones on my wish list! My goal for reading…1 hour a day! What’s your reading goal?

Favourite Children’s Books!
One of my favorite moments in the classroom is reading with young children. Watching their eyes light up as they immerse themselves if the magical world’s that come alive in the stories we read together. Or watching a young child sneak away to the book nook to enjoy a story on their own. A book they just can’t seem to get enough of, and read over and over. And then excitedly sharing their version of the story with their friends in an animated fashion that only children can create. This is where the love of reading starts…in the early years! So, here are some of my all time favorites! What are your kiddo’s favorites?

Inspired Minds ECE Book Club!
Time to connect with other book lovers! This group is dedicated to Early Childhood Educators who love to read and learn! Each month, we cover a different book that focuses on early childhood development, or hot topics in our field. These aren’t your every day ELCC textbooks, but books that go beyond and enter the journey of learning for fun! It’s my type of PLAY!
