Sunday Post: Splendid…Places, People and Things

Posted on August 5, 2012 by viviankirkfield

Jake at Time after Time has a Sunday Post Challenge and every week he provides a theme…this week’s theme is SPLENDID.

The sky is SPLENDID: heavenly, grand, phenomenal!

Oceans and rivers are SPLENDID: impressive, magnificent, exquisite.

Family time together is SPLENDID: brilliant, memorable, charming.

Positive Parental Participation is celebrating the beginning of a SPLENDID new school year by donating a dozen copies of Show Me How! to schools all across the country.

The Show Me How School Initiative is a SPLENDID way to help schools put this award-winning resource of multi-sensory lessons and activities in their classrooms.

If you’d like your favorite school (or home-school) to receive a SPLENDID free copy, please leave a comment. At the beginning of October, we will announce the winners.

Will you be SPLENDID? Please help spread the word through your social media network…blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, Pinterist…however you love to interact with your followers.

  Thanks, Susanna! The reason I wrote the book was to get it into the hands of those who can benefit from using it…the bottom line is that if a school classroom has it, many more will enjoy the activities. 🙂

  You are right, Milka! New England fall folliage can’t be beat…I wonder if there are areas in Europe where the leaves turn scarlet and gold?

    Not that I know of, unfortunately. It just all turns yellow then brown.
