The ABCs of The Educators’ Spin On It … and this week’s Kids Co-Op Linky!
I hope that everyone reading along has been enjoying the ABCs feature series … because I SURE do enjoy being able to highlight amazing blogs and bloggers! This week I’m excited to feature not one, but TWO bloggers. The amazing best friend duo behind The Educators’ Spin On It. They both are experienced parents and elementary school teachers that believe “parents are their children’s first and most important teacher.” Their blog is filled with amazing ideas to promote learning in fun ways. One of these ways is their Love Books! ongoing Link Up that is FILLED with great children’s books and activities to go with them. Love Books! also organizes those AWESOME book exchanges … like the Summer Book Exchange that I took apart in when I swapped books with B. Inspired Mama!
