August: Getting ready for school: First week of September theme and books!

For books, I didn't want to do all books about back to school, so I found a list for books about ballet (since the bonus for week one is gross motor skills and Z loves dancing)

http://www.notimeforflashcards.com/2013/08/books-about-ballet.html

You could really just get any book about jumping, sports, dancing, walking, running, whatever the kid is into.

This is on my list (and from this list http://www.notimeforflashcards.com/category/board-books-for-babies) but I already own it so I don't need it from the library...
Chicka Chicka ABC by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault  is a fantastic board book and shorter version of the longer book. My son loves this book and it’s the perfect amount of text for a toddler, the illustrations by Lois Ehlert are so bright and bold that even very young babies will respond to it! A must have for all bookshelves.

Definitely taking books off this list since the first week theme is back to school! http://www.notimeforflashcards.com/2012/07/31-books-to-read-about-school.html

And def check out this list now and in future (http://www.notimeforflashcards.com/book-reviews)
