Annie Kate’s Curriculum reviews, in chronological order
Every single one of Annie Kate’s reviews, in chronological order
Dear Annie Kate,
Would you consider reviewing my historic fiction novel written for boys aged 9-12? The issues presented in this fast paced book are relevant not only in the last century, but in today’s culture. RIDING THE RAILS TO HOME: A NEWSIE RIDES THE ORPHAN TRAIN will draw even reluctant readers into the world of a newsie. I can send a copy of this book to you. Thank you for your time.
Although I haven’t reviewed for that age range for a while, this book looks good. I will email you, Cleo.
Good morning Annie Kate –
I am a retired PreK teacher from a small Christ-centered school. I had the privilege of sharing God’s creation daily with my little people; helping learn truths about God through his beautiful nature. I have developed an online video series called Awe and Wonder Time. I would love for you to take a look; aweandwondertime.com. Please feel free to share and/or give me some feedback. This series is meant to be very organic as I simply go through my days and when I see something I want to share I do so! Helping children truly develop a sense of awe and wonder.
Blessings,
Robbin
