Welcome Friends! To me there is nothing better to do on a snowy day than wrapping up in my favorite fleece blanket with a good book and a warm cup of cocoa! Snuggling into a wonderful picture book just makes the rest of the cold, frosty world outside melt away, and allows my imagination to go to a magical place!  Using wordless picture books to inspire young writers to create their own stories is another favorite instructional practice of mine, so keep reading to find out how I do it!  I invite you to join me in doing the same now as The Reading Crew takes you reading in a winter wonderland! ...
