Hello Readers -
Today is Tuesday, January 14th, 2020.
I leave you with a thought for the day:
"You can't stay in your corner waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes."
No matter how you are feeling, no matter what you are thinking or what you may need, don't be afraid to ask. Talk to your friends, share your thoughts and feelings and ask for help if you need it. If you wait for others to ask you what's wrong or what you need, you may not get it.
Have a wonderful day!
Love,
Mrs. Fizzywiggle

Be You, Be Happy
Hello Readers and Happy New Year!
I wanted to take this time to make my first post of the year. It's been a while since I posted last, a few months to be exact. Sometimes it's hard for me to post and other times I really want to and can't find the words.
Last year was a very difficult and sad year for me. My little boy was fighting cancer and sadly he didn't win the fight and died. On September 15, he traded in his superhero cape for some beautiful new angel wings. I know that he isn't sick anymore and he doesn't have cancer anymore, but my heart is still very sad because I don't have him with me. Being so sad because I miss him made it very hard for me to write.
I decided this year that I was going to try to write again because he loved it when I wrote to my readers. He was even helping me write my new book! I haven't worked on it since he died but now I am really going to try to finish it, especially for him.
Being sad can really make us not want to do a lot of things. It makes us cry a lot, we like to sleep a lot, we don't want to play, we don't want to talk to our friends. It's very hard to do those things when you don't feel happy inside. That's how I have been feeling since Axel died. Very sad inside and not wanting to do anything.
I thought about all my readers, whether young or old and decided that I was going to write. Do you know why? Because writing makes me happy. Being happy is so much better than being sad. I know that my sadness will never go away because I will miss him forever, but if I write, I will feel some happiness inside too so perhaps that will make it easier for me to do the things I love to do.
I don't know if any of you have ever lost anyone that you love as much as I love Axel but if you did, its OK to feel sad. You will always feel sad because you miss that person but it's OK to feel happy too. Being happy is important because smiling makes you feel good inside. It makes other people smile when you smile and then it makes THEM feel good inside. Being happy is like a yawn. Once you start, everyone else does it too!
So I'm sorry that I've been away. I'm going to try very hard to make sure I write something often and I'm going to work very hard on my next book. I'm going to do it for Axel because I know that it would have made him very happy for me to finish my book, and that makes me very happy inside.
No matter what, it's just important that you do what you want to do. While sometimes it may be hard because of things you are feeling, remember that they are your feelings and you can keep them, you can change them and you can share them. Just try to share the good ones! 😎
Until the next time I leave you with this special thought from my idol, Dr. Seuss:
"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You."
Go be yourself and be happy!
Happy Reading!
Love,
Mrs. Fizzywiggle

Happy Halloween! Stay Safe!
Hello Readers!
Tomorrow night is Halloween and many of my little readers will be trick-or-treating in their hometowns. I know that in my hometown the weather will be rainy and cold and there are a lot of readers that will be going to parties instead, or visiting locations that are having "trunk-or-treat" events. Either way it's very important to stay safe and there are a few ways that you can do that.
A good idea to help other people and cars see you when you are walking at night is to have some type of glow stick. I have a dollar store in my area and they sell all sorts of glow items. Bracelets, necklaces, glow sticks and wands. There are even packages that have more than one in them so you can share with a sibling or a friend!
I know that trick-or-treating at homes of friends or other people you know feels safe, but remember not to eat ANY candy until after you get home and an adult checks it all!
Remember not to ever go out alone. Please make sure you are with an older sibling or an adult and stay in groups.
Don't EVER take any candy from a grownup that comes up to you while you are walking. This is NOT OK ever! If this happens to you make sure you run away as fast as you can and go find an adult you know.
Remember my adult readers, our children are our most prized possessions. Help keep them safe this Halloween.
Have fun and remember to say thank you!
Happy Reading!

Cancer is a scary thing......but don't be scared of me!
Hello Readers!
How many of you know what cancer is? Perhaps someone in your family has been very sick with cancer or may have even died because their cancer was very bad? It's not a very good thing to have and it's even worse when one of your little friends has it.
My little boy has been battling cancer for two years. His type of cancer is called Leukemia and this type is blood cancer. Oh he is one of the mightiest and bravest warriors I know because he has fought so long and so hard to beat it.
We have not been able to get rid of the cancer all the way but he keeps getting medicine to keep it from getting worse. Hopefully one day there will be a new medicine he can have that will get rid of it once and for all.
The reason I'm telling you this is because if you do have a friend with cancer, don't be afraid of them. I know it can be very scary to see them if they are hooked up to tubes for medicine, some have a tube in their nose that goes into their belly for medicine or food and most have no hair. These are very normal things with cancer but there is one thing for sure that is not different......they are still the same friend! Now more than ever they need you to be their friend because they won't be able to play like they used to and may spend a lot of time in the hospital. Visiting them while they are in the hospital is a very good thing and will make them so happy to have someone to play with. It can get very very lonely in a hospital room every day.
My little boy would get so very sad when he had no one to play with so he would get excited each time one of his friends came. He is such a celebrity at school and in our town that he now has even more friends than he did before he got sick!
No matter what you go through or what your friends go through always remember one thing: They are still the same friend you have always had so treat them that way. The tubes, the bald head, the bandages or anything else they may need to get better aren't scary things, they are things that will help them get better so you shouldn't feel weird, or scared to be around them.
Always remember that you are friends because of the kind of person they are and being sick doesn't make them different. Be a really good friend because being sick makes you sad but seeing your friends makes you feel so much better!
As always, Happy Reading!
Love,
Mrs. Fizzywiggle

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Hello Readers!
It's been a while since I posted last and so many things have happened I just dont know where to start!
Remember I told you about my little grandson that was helping me write my next story? Well he got very, very sick in August and has been in the hospital. I am kind of like his mom since he came to live with me as a baby, so I stay at the hospital with him.
He was able to come home for a week so we went to a wonderful event called a "Pumpkin Festival" and Axel was able to see all kinds of neat things. Go to a little Halloween party, get some candy and March in parade. He even got a picture with Spiderman and some Power Rangers!
With Halloween right around the corner, it's important to remember to make sure that while you have fun trick or treating, you need to remember to stay safe! Axel and I use glow sticks so that the cars can see us at night and we always walk on the sidewalk. Be sure to stay with a grownup and remember to never agree to go trick or treating with someone you don't know. Always keep in mind the rules about stranger danger!
Letting grownups check your candy before you eat it is a safe idea too!
I'd love to see some of your costumes this year since we can't trick or treat. Ask a grownup to take a picture of you and then go to my Facebook page and post your picture!! I'll be checking every day to see all the wonderful costumes and I'll try to guess them so dont tell me who you are!
Have fun taking pictures, have a safe and happy Halloween and as always, Happy Reading!
Love,
Mrs. Fizzywiggle

On a magical isle in the midst of my dreams
Lives a
magical creature of sorts,
One who can
swing by his tail through the trees
As he
huffs and he puffs and he snorts.
He hops over
rocks, jumps high in the air
Splashes and
plays in the rain,
No matter
what journey he happens upon
It turns
into a wonderful game!
Hello Readers!
Did you like what you read? That's what I'm working on next. I'll give you a little hint - His name is Kaboo and he goes on the most wonderful adventures with his little friend Alex!
I have a little grandson who is helping me write my next story. Each night before we go to bed, I tell him a story about an adventure with Kaboo and Alex. Sometimes he tells me about an adventure that he would like to have and sometimes I tell him the adventure. By the time we are done we have told a wonderful story!
Using your imagination is a most wonderful thing. Anything can happen! That's exactly what my grandson and I are doing, we are using our imaginations to tell a story to each other and each night Alex and Kaboo go on a different adventure or sometimes they continue on the same adventure as the night before.
Do you like to use your imagine to tell stories, draw or play a game with your friends? Do you go on adventures? I'd love to hear about some of your adventures! Click on the "Write to me!" button and have a grownup help you tell me your story! Be sure to tell me your name so that Kaboo can go on an adventure with you!
I can't wait to hear from each and every one of you. Until then,
Happy Reading!
Love,
Mrs. Fizzywiggle

Happy Halloween!
Hello Readers!
Today is Saturday, October 8th. We are one week into October and I am beginning to see a lot of changes outside. The first change I began to notice are the leaves changing colors. Watching them turn from green to red, yellow and orange make the trees look so very pretty!
If you take a drive with your mom, dad, grandma, grandpa or whomever the grownup is in your house, take some time to see all the wonderful colors in the trees!
With October comes Halloween and we always want to make sure that we stay safe. Stranger danger is very, very important to remember when you are out trick-or-treating. Always make sure that you are with a grown-up and never trick-or-treat alone.
When you are choosing a Halloween costume, make sure you use your super smarts and pick a costume that will make it fun to trick-or-treat but won't make it hard for you to see when you are walking around. Safety first!
Speaking of Halloween costumes, I have a special contest just for Halloween! Ask a grownup to take a picture of you in your Halloween costume and post it to my facebook page:
I'll look at all the pictures I receive and the very best Halloween costume will win a copy of my new book, Molly's Flower!
You have until October 31st to post your pictures so be sure to ask a grown-up for help and send me your pictures!
Remember, stay safe, be smart and as always,
Happy Reading!
Love,
Mrs. Fizzywiggle.

Holiday Wishes To All My Readers!
Well hello there readers!
I know I've been away for a very long time, but I am hoping that I will be able to write to you more often. My readers are very, very important to me you know!
I hope everyone had a most wonderful Thanksgiving! Well, all of my readers that celebrate the holiday. Do you know that not everyone celebrates the same holidays that you do? I don't know all the different holidays but there are so many wonderful celebrations all throughout the year!
I celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas with my family. On Thanksgiving I make a juicy delicious turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and lets not forget the yummy cranberry sauce! On Christmas, we usually don't have a big meal because we leave for vacation the next day and we cant take all the leftovers with us. We have a wonderful Christmas morning, spending time together, opening gifts and having a great day.
Some people don't celebrate Thanksgiving because they live in different countries. Thanksgiving is an English/American holiday that started with the pilgrims that left England and came to live here in America.
Christmas is a holiday celebrated by Christians, honoring the birth of Jesus. Some people are part of different religions that believe in different things so they don't celebrate Christmas - it's called something else. That would be a wonderful book to find at your local library to help you learn about all the different holidays! Perhaps you can write back to me ans share what you have learned!
Whether you celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas or any other holiday, always remember that there may be others who do not so you need to be very respectful of their holidays and beliefs. Just because they don't celebrate the same holidays that you do doesn't mean that their holidays are wrong. Remember that readers are curious and are always learning so don't be afraid to ask questions.
So the next time you are playing with your friends and are talking about Christmas, you may have some friends that tell you they don't celebrate Christmas. It's ok to ask them "What do you celebrate?" You may be surprised what you can learn!
So for now, I wish all of my readers a joyous holiday season no matter what you celebrate!
Happy Reading!

Hello Readers!
Hello Readers!
It has been such a very long time since I have had the chance to write to you! I missed all of you very much and I want to say I'm sorry for not checking in sooner!
Sometimes there are grownup things that need to be taken care of and because we are so much older, we forget that it is very, very important to keep in touch with people around you!
This summer has been absolutely wonderful! Have you been having fun on your school vacation? I didn't go away but I have enjoyed spending time with my six year old grandson after I get home from work. We go to a dinner theater on Wednesday nights at the library which is really super fun! We bring our dinner and watch a fabulous movie together! On the weekends, we go back to the library to check out some books, bring them home and read together. Reading is so much fun, especially when you can read to someone else! Have you been doing any reading this summer? I would love to hear all about the books you've read!
Oh yes! I almost forgot to tell you about the summer reading program that my grandson (his name is Axel) is participating in. The library (such a wonderful place, don't you agree?) gives out raffle tickets and prizes each time you read seven books! What a wonderful way to encourage you to read while on vacation from school. Not only do you get to enjoy lots of great books, but you also continue to improve your reading skills so that when you start school again in the fall, you will be reading better than you were before summer started. Even if you are only a little bit better, that is a great accomplishment!
Before you know it you will be going back to school and there won't be time to swim and play outside like there is now. You will need to start learning again and you may have homework too which is ok, but you will always have time to read. When you to to the library at school, check out a book, find a comfy place to sit and read until its time to go back to your classroom. When you get home, after all your schoolwork is completed, find some time to curl up with your favorite book instead of playing a video game or watching tv.
Whenever the time or wherever you are, it always important to find some time to read a book. Not only are the stories wonderful, you also stimulate your imagination and become a better reader!
Tata for now and Happy Reading!
Love,
Mrs. Fizzywiggle

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Readers!
For some of you, understanding what a new year is may be a little confusing. I'll try to explain it to you so that you can understand better.
Look at it like this. You start school in September and finish in June. Then when September comes again, you start school all over but this time, you are in a different grade. Well, a new year is something like starting a new grade in school.
We have just finished the year 2012. The year starts in January and goes all the way to the very last day in December. Then, when the first day of January comes again, we say Happy New Year, and change our year to the next number which is 2013 the way you change to the next grade in school!
It can be a little confusing, but each new year brings new things. A new birthday for you. A new grade in school and a new Christmas when we get to December again! How exciting!
Some grownups say they are going to make a New Years Resolution. Have you ever heard a grownup in your house say that? That means that they are going to try really, really hard to do something this year. Another word for resolution would be a decision. Do you know that you can make a New Years "Decision" too? There are a lot of things you can decide to do in the new year. You can decide to try harder to keep your toys picked up, or try harder to listen to your parents. You may even decide to try harder to eat all your vegetables!
Whatever you decide remember that you should always try to remember your resolution and be very, very careful to stick to it. Then, when the new year comes again, you can make a new decision.
Happy Reading,

For some of you, understanding what a new year is may be a little confusing. I'll try to explain it to you so that you can understand better.
Look at it like this. You start school in September and finish in June. Then when September comes again, you start school all over but this time, you are in a different grade. Well, a new year is something like starting a new grade in school.
We have just finished the year 2012. The year starts in January and goes all the way to the very last day in December. Then, when the first day of January comes again, we say Happy New Year, and change our year to the next number which is 2013 the way you change to the next grade in school!
It can be a little confusing, but each new year brings new things. A new birthday for you. A new grade in school and a new Christmas when we get to December again! How exciting!

School Rules
Hello Readers!
It has been quite a while since I wrote to you last. I hope you have been well and have been enjoying school!
I'm sure some of you are in school for the first time, but I hope that you read my last post and feel better about it now.
I'm sure that starting school is very confusing. There are a lot of new friends, teachers, and oh yes we can't forget...rules! Every school has rules and it is very, very important to make sure you follow your teachers rules. They help keep you safe and make it easy for you and all your new friends to learn as much as you can.
I have a little grandson that will be turning four years old soon and he is in school for the first time. Oh he cried the first few days, but now he is having a wonderful time learning new things and playing with new friends! He does have a little trouble with the rules though. The hardest rule for him is walking in the hallway. He loves to run but if he does, he may fall down and get hurt, or run into someone else and hurt them. That wouldn't be good at all!
This is just one example of why it is very important to follow rules at school and even at home. Your Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa or whomever the adult is in your home make the rules to keep you and every one else safe. Oh there will be times that you will forget the rules and that's ok, as long as you remember to follow them the best that you can!
I hope that all of my wonderful readers have so much fun at school and learn a lot of new things. I can't wait to hear from each and every one of you!
Happy Reading!

Almost time for school!
Happy August Readers!
I'm sure that you all have been enjoying a wonderful summer filled with fun activities. All to soon though, it will be coming to an end as school is going to begin soon!
I'm sure that some of you are happy to go back to school but I'm also sure that there are some of you young readers that are starting school for the very first time. It can be kind of a scary thing. It's ok to be scared about going to school, after all, you have never been there before! BUT remember, school can be a fun place too!
Do you like when Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa or a big brother or sister read you a story before you go to bed at night? I do too. Do you know how they learned to read? By going to school! Being a good reader is a wonderful thing. There are so many things you can learn from reading books!
The very first day you go to school is a fun day. You learn all about your new classmates, where you are going to sit to learn many new wonderful things, you get to explore all the different parts of the classroom and even get to go outside to play!
If you have a big brother or sister that already goes to school, ask them to tell you what its like and if it is as scary as you think it is. If you are the big brother or sister and have already been to school, help your little brother or sister so that they aren't afraid!
No matter what, always remember that school is a wonderful place to learn new things, meet wonderful new friends and have lots of fun too!
Enjoy the rest of your summer, and remember - Happy Reading!

Summer Fun
Hello Readers!
Boy it's really been a long time since I have written anything! I have been so very busy this summer, I haven't had a chance to write to my favorite readers! What have you been doing this summer? Have you been busy?
Summer is such a wonderful time of the year! You may be on a break from school, or you may be starting school for the very first time at the end of the summer. No matter what, summer is the time for lots of fun!
We recently celebrated the Fourth of July. Did you? I absolutely love all the different colored fire works! They are just so beautiful! Sometimes they can be very loud but if you cover your ears, it sounds much better and may not be as scary if you are still little.
Picnics are also a wonderful fun thing to do in the summer. The whole family can get together and have delicious hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken and lots and lots of yummy watermelon!
Days during the summer can get very, very hot. Do you know what I like to do when I get really hot? That's right! I go swimming! My favorite place to swim is in a swimming pool, but you can go to a lake or even to the ocean! Have you ever gone swimming in the ocean and played in the waves that come up to the shore? Isn't that fun? :)
Whether you like picnics, swimming or just playing with friends, it's nice to enjoy time in the summer to just have fun. Before you know it, school will start again and there won't be as much time to play outside with your friends because it's very important to make sure you do good in school.
Until next time, Happy Reading!
Love,
Mrs. Fizzywiggle

My Friend Zebu
Good Morning Readers!
I was wondering if you can help me with something? I am writing a wonderful story about a little spaceman, but haven't finished it yet. I was wondering if you would read the first chapter and let me know what you think? I would love some new ideas too! What would you like to see happen in this story? What sort of adventures should Zebu and Joey go on?
Oh I know my readers have absolutely wonderful imaginations and I just cant wait to hear from each and every one of you!
Please enjoy!
Love,
Mrs. Fizzywiggle

My Friend Zebu
Chapter I – The
Arrival
I can’t really remember the exact date I met him but I know
it was in the summer of 1985. Sometime
in July. It was a warm and bright sunny
day and I could feel the heat on my back as I walked. At the time, I was headed for the lake to go
swimming. Well, needless to say, I never
made it.
I heard a loud noise coming from the woods and since I tend
to be the curious type, I decided to investigate. I walked about through the bushes and thorns
and finally I found what I was looking for.
It was a little blue and white spaceship!
It looked like the kind of spaceship you would see in a
cartoon. The dome on top was clear glass
and the body was blue with a white pin-stripe all the way around. It was cute in a way but it was also unusual.
I walked slowly towards the ship and just as I was about to
touch it, a tiny little space man jumped out!
I landed right on my bottom. That’s how startled I was!
“WHAT IS YOUR NAME?” I asked him slowly and rather loud.
“My name is Zebu, and please stop yelling. What’s yours?”
“My name is Joey.” I answered. “I’m sorry for talking so
loud.”
“Nice to meet you Joey and I’m sorry if I scared you.”
“That’s ok. By the way, where did you come from?” I asked.
There was a short pause and then Zebu finally answered.
“I come from a planet called Zultra. I was sent here by my people to observe your
planet from the surface. We have been
observing you for many light years from our planet and now we have come to the
decision that we must observe your planet from the surface as well.”
“But why have you been doing that? Are you planning
something?”
“No Joey, not at all.
We would just like to be friends with your planet.”
“Oh, that’s okay I guess.
Just don’t vaporize me or anything if you get mad ok? I don’t think my mom would like it too much.”
“I don’t vaporize earthlings Joey. I come from a very peaceful planet. We only had to fight one time and we didn’t
even start it.”
“What happened?” I asked him.
“You see Joey, many of your Earth years ago; my planet was
at war with another planet called Zetro.
Zetro had a mean and powerful leader who would stop at nothing to get
what he wanted. Even if it meant the
death of many Zultrans.” His voice was
sad.
“But why your planet? What did you have that he wanted to
bad?”
“On our planet is a very rare mineral called Zlint. It is used to power our space crafts and our
weapons as well. That’s what he wanted.”
“Oh, I get it.” I answered.
“He wanted the mineral so he could power all his weapons to gain control
over the planets in your galaxy!” I continued.
“That’s right.
Thousands of my people were killed and as a result, my people became
very angry and eventually ended up destroying the not-so-great planet Zetro.”
Zebu sounded a little angry too.
“Oh, that’s awful Zebu.
I’m so sorry to hear about what happened on your planet.”
“Thank you Joey.
Well, now that you know the history of my planet, we don’t need to
discuss this matter any further! I have an idea, how about you and I take a
flight in my spaceship?” Zebu asked.
“I’d love to! Lead the way”
Zebu took me inside his spaceship and as I stepped inside,
my eyes just about popped out of my head!
Inside that tiny little space ship was enough room to fit a house. Wall to wall computers, flashing lights, a
whole bunch of different controls and believe it or not directions on how to
fly it!
“Zebu, I was just noticing something. Why are there
directions in your spaceship? Don’t you
know how to fly it?” I asked.
“I know how to fly it. Those are for my people who are just
learning how to fly. It can get very
confusing at times.”
“Do you think I would be able to fly it? I mean, would you show me how?” I asked.
“Sure, I’ll show you how.
It may be a little difficult at first, so I’ll coach you along.”
His voice was filled with excitement as he spoke to me. I don’t think he ever had anyone ask him to
teach them how to fly. I could tell he wanted to teach me just as much as I
wanted to learn.
We finally got the craft off the ground and headed for
space. We went all around the
galaxy. I saw many different planets
including Zultra and what was left of Zetro.
It was an awful sight. The way
the planet looked, everything must have been destroyed.
After flying around for what seemed like hours, we started
to head back to earth. I was so excited
I couldn’t even talk! I wanted to do it
all over again. Zebu brought it in for
the landing and when we got back to Earth, I noticed it was getting dark so I
told Zebu that I had to start heading home.
“Please don’t go Joey.
Stay here for the night. I don’t
want to stay alone.”
“But Zebu, my house is much more comfortable and a lot
cooler than your space ship. My parents
won’t mind if you stay with us. They
would be excited. Why don’t you stay
with us?”
“I don’t know Joey.
After all, I am kind of funny looking and a little strange in many
ways.”
“Oh, don’t worry about it Zebu. My mom will be fine with you. She’s cool like that.”
“Well, I don’t know.”
“Aw, Come on Zebu.
Tomorrow I can show you around and we’ll talk some more. What-da-ya-say?”
“Ok Joey. I’ll just
get a few things and then we can go.”
I waited outside the spaceship for him and while I was
waiting, I just stared up at all the stars that were beginning to show in the
night sky, wondering about all the unknown galaxies up there. I started to wander off into a daze when I
heard Zebu coming out.
“I’m all ready Joey.
You lead the way this time. I’m
afraid I would get us quite lost.”
“Ok. Let’s go!” I
shouted
Side by side Zebu and I walked toward my house. We didn’t say much, we just walked. After a couple of minutes, Zebu stopped
walking and turned his head towards me.
I think it was his way to make sure I knew he wanted to say something
that he felt was important.
“I like you Joey.” He said.
“I like you too, Zebu.”
I said with a smile.
That made me feel really good inside. I started to think to myself that I would
never not like Zebu. I would always be
his friend. No matter what happened I
couldn’t help but get excited about my new friend and what we were going to do
next. This was going to be a great
summer. I just knew it.

Rainy Day Blues
Hello Readers!
I was thinking that it has been a very long time since I put anything new up for you youngsters to read. It was very hard to decide what to put here for you because all the rain outside was making me very sad! Why is it making me sad? Well, let me tell you!
I love to look outside and see the sun shining, a bird or two in my yard, or maybe some pretty flowers! Sitting outside in the sunshine feels so nice and warm! When it rains, the sun is hiding in the clouds, the birds are in their nests hiding from the rain and the flowers, well, while I can see them in the rain, they don't look as pretty as they do when the sun is shining down on them!
I bet you like to play outside, don't you? I have a little 3 year old grandson that has so much fun outside! He runs and plays, climbs on his play house, rides his toy car or helps his Pepe in the garden. What kind of things do you like to do outside? I would love to hear some of your favorite things to do!
If you feel sad about rainy days like I do just remember this. Pretty soon the rain is going to go away. If you are lucky, you might even see a rainbow when its gone, but you will most certainly be able to play outside!
While you are in the house, why not sit with Mommy or Daddy and read your favorite book, or draw a wonderful picture of something you like? You may have to think about it or ask Mommy and Daddy for help, but i'm sure you can find something fun and wonderful to do while you wait for the sun to come out again!
Happy Reading!
Love,
Mrs. Fizzywiggle

Its Not Nice To Hit!
Dear Readers,
I wanted to write a letter to you because I have a little grandson that is 3 years old, and he has started hitting. He is still learning to share in his preschool and when another child takes a toy from him, instead of using his nice words like "Please give that back to me" or "Please don't take that from me", he hits the other child.
Hitting is not nice at all. Not only does it hurt the other child that you are hitting, but it hurts you too because you get punished for your bad behavior. My grandson lives with me so when he hits, he has to go to bed early and gets no TV when he gets home from school. That makes him very, very sad because he likes to watch all his favorite shows on Sprout before he goes to bed.
I know that sometimes you don't want to share, or sometimes one of your school friends may do something that makes you mad. In either case it's very important to try really, really hard to remember to use your nice words instead of hitting. If you still have a hard time, even after using nice words, you can always find a grownup to help you.
So remember - We need to always be nice to our friends, even if they make us angry. So practice using your nice words and always keep your hands to yourself!
Happy Reading!
Love,
Mrs.

Hooray for Spring!
Hooray for Spring!
The sun is out
the weather is warm
there is no doubt!
We play outside
it's a wonderful thing!
We run through the grass,
we dance, we sing!
The flowers bloom
so pretty, so bright!
New leaves on the trees
what a wonderful sight!
New Baby animals,
so tiny and sweet.
The soft green grass
Beneath our feet.
Hooray for Sun,
for everything,
But most of all
Hooray for Spring!
