thank you friend!!

Five things that make me happy!

1. Performing (being in front of a crowd, entertaining people is my most favorite feeling in the world)

2. Finishing a notebook or journal (so satisfying!!)

3. Antique stores

4. The Friendships Between Girls

5. The feeling you get when your makeup is coming together and you're like (eeep! I feel so pretty!!)

(bonus: copia's everything lol)

Get ready to chirp, tweet, and zipeeeeee your way through this vibrant book. Filled with onomatopoeia- words that represent sounds- readers will see their world through sounds long after the story is done.  

Noticing and repeating sound words helps children build vocabulary and phonological awareness, both key aspects of early literacy development. They also add a sensory dimension to the reading experience, making it more fun and promoting print motivation!

This book will help build:

Vocabulary – practicing the different bird sounds

Phonological Awareness – hearing the repetitive sounds in the bird calls

Print Motivation – seeing the different styles of text on the page

Letter Knowledge – recognizing the sounds of each letter

This book will help kids practice:

Talking – Repeat the sounds the birds make

Writing – Try writing out the sounds you hear

Extend the book:

To extend this book, try building finger dexterity, needed for writing, by using fingers to paint and blend the colors into a sunrise just like in the book.

Ask your kids what sound a familiar object makes and then try to spell it out loud or write what it would be, which practices letter knowledge.

They can practice playing by making birds from a paper plate, a paper tube, and found objects.

You will need:

paper plate cut in half

paper tube

scissors

glue

crayons or markers

Make your bird:

Find objects that will be glued to the plate.

Decorate tube with bird features.

Glue tube to center of plate, add objects around for detail.

Thank you!!

2. Lighters or matches?

matches! I love the drama of it lol

3. Do you leave the window open at night?

I don’t! When I was a child, I was scared that demons would crawl through the windows and steal my soul, and now I kinda wish they would. But I do keep a fan on for white noise!

24. If we were together on a roof top, what would we be doing?

We would definitely be talking about all of the perverse, evil and depraved things we want copia to do us!!

Are you named after anyone?

Yes! I was named my mother’s cousin, who named her daughter after my mother!

When was the last time you cried?

Good golly gracious, I’m very quick to tears. The last time I had tears falling from my eyes was this past Sunday when I was cutting some particularly raw onions. But real tears? maybe a week ago when I was listening to Spiegel Im Spiegel - it’s so beautiful!
