Dana smiled, thoughtfully, Turning to Trista, she said, "Tris, you are awesome, amazing, and beautiful both inside and out.""T, you are that and so much more than you give yourself credit for." I said, sincerely. Giving Trista a sincere smile, I said, "Instead of asking yourself why my brother would be into you, you should be asking why he wouldn't be."

Spring Break is here and your students need something funny and creative to do. Why not give the little monkeys something to monkey around with during their vacation?This workbook has 63 monkey writing prompts to help students write narrative and expository paragraphs. Each page has a cute picture of a monkey, a monkey-word in English and Spanish (and its pronunciation), a space for writing a monkey paragraph, and a monkey prompt like: Do monkeys ever get lonely? Do monkeys fall in love? Why do monkeys spend so much time in trees? What might a banana say to a monkey? Do monkeys like the smell of flowers? Would a monkey make a good pet? Are monkeys ticklish? And lots of funny and weird questions to get your students thinking about monkeys (and themselves too). Each prompt opens the classroom to discussions that you might not feel comfortable directly asking (because it's just talking about monkeys). When your students read the prompt, "Do monkeys ever think about God?" your students are free to think and talk without anyone being for or against their ideas (in a world that is growing ever-increasingly less inclusive and open to diversity).You can use this workbook whenever you want, year-round, before or after any holiday, for a summer vacation packet, or leave a few pages for a sub (they'll love it). Use them, all 63 pages. And when your students think about "What is the most popular monkey ever?" you will get to guide the discussion into the areas of leadership and responsibility, being popular versus being a world-changer (the important things in life).This workbook is your way of helping your little monkeys, I mean students, engage in critical thinking while talking about funny pictures of monkeys. They'll laugh and giggle, and then write.
