Something a little different, today. Since my brain is fried from lack of sleep, I'm going to give you all a taste of what my daughter does in school. She raps. Yep. And not just any kind of rapping. Prepositional rapping. Her assignment was to create a rap using prepositions. Here's an example of what I'm talking about.
(Yeah. Isn't that great? Except, isn't "is" a verb?)
So for the last two days, I've been listening to rap music as my daughter has been trying to complete her assignment. No wonder I haven't been sleeping well!
Before I go back to sleep for the next two days, I want to share some illustrations from my upcoming picture book, Ten Zany Birds. They're done by talented water-color illustrator, Charu Jain.
And here are the ten zany birds:
Which is your favorite? (I like the green one the best.)
Times have changed in English class!
ReplyDeleteI like the one that is upside down, I can relate to that.
That's about how I feel right now!
DeleteThose are cute!
ReplyDeleteThe constant rapping would give me a headache, but if she's learning...
The question is, "Is she learning?"
DeleteThose illustrations are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCharu is doing a really nice job with them.
DeleteLove the ten zany birds!!! I think the blue one is my favorite, but they are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAlso, wanted to let you know I nominated you for an award on my blog. To check it out, go here:

Thanks. I'll drop by and take a look.
DeleteThank goodness I never had that assignment. I would have failed it. I don't like rap.
ReplyDeleteI can't decide if I like the purple bird or the upside down bird the most. They're all very cute though.
It's hard to choose, isn't it?
DeleteI don't think I could listen to the rap music, but if it helps kids learn then that's a good thing. Love the illustrations. All the birds are beautiful. I'd have to pick the pink one on the bottom row.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of rap music!
DeleteMy daughter used to continuously play George Michael so I can understand what you're going through, but at least you know she isn't up to any mischief. Those pictures are wonderful and a pleasure to look at.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week-end.
Yvonne.
George Michael is better than rap!
DeleteYou have a very interesting family.....cheers.
ReplyDeleteHaha! That's an understatement!
DeleteFun assignment!
ReplyDeleteI think the illustrations are great. I am drawn to the purple two first- but I love the expression on the red bird's face. :) Awesome!

Most of the kids in the class seem to enjoy it. I don't think my daughter does, though.
DeleteThe rap would make my head hurt, good luck. The green and the blue I like best
ReplyDeleteYes. I like the green one!
DeleteNo wonder you need sleep. Rap? Yikes.
ReplyDeleteSherry, I just love the illustrations. When is your latest book coming out? Oh, and all the zany birds look like they have attitude. Love it!
Most likely in December, but it might take a little longer. You can't rush these things!
DeleteThe yellow sticks out for me
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute one.
Deleteif I recall from Facebook, everybody, me included, likes the green one best :)
ReplyDeleteThe green one is certainly one of the favorites!
DeleteFabulous rap!! And gorgeous illustrations!
ReplyDeleteCharu is doing a fabulous job with the illustrations.
DeleteThose illustrations are beautiful. I like the pink one with the heart on its chest.
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute one!
DeleteI like to drive my middle school students bonkers with the "Parts of Speech" rap on Youtube. Sounds like your daughter had fun with the assignment. Those new illustrations look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see the entire book done!
DeleteShe must be learning a lot with Preposition Rap.
ReplyDeleteThey are all cute, I like the blue one :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post :)
I think the blue bird is cute, too.
DeleteI love it! All the birds are too cute~
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteWow, those illustrations are gorgeous! I think my fave is the bird in the lower right corner, just below the upside-down one. They're all cute, though! :)
ReplyDeleteThe brown one is cute - he looks good in the bird bath illustration, too.
DeleteLike those colourful illustrations of the zany birds.
ReplyDeleteCharu is doing a good job!
DeleteI like the illustrations very much. The green bird is soo cute!
ReplyDeleteI think so, too!
DeleteBeautiful illustrations! It's tough to pick a favourite!
ReplyDeleteThey are all cute!
