Bring Books into Your Classroom with SunnyD #BookSpree Twitter Party #SunnyDLatino


This is part of a sponsored collaboration with SunnyD and Latina Mom Bloggers. However, all opinions expressed are my own.

The last few weeks we've been struggling...with technology. My kids have been needing constant reminders to get off the computer and tablet. I finally declared a "tech-free day" last week because I want them to spend more time outside, doing crafts & activities, or reading.

I suppose that one of the most interesting things to witness is the difference in children now versus children 20 years ago. When we were kids, we played outside, spent time with our friends, and read books. Today, kids are more inclined to sit on the couch playing video games. And what happened to the books, the ones that aren’t on a tablet? Well, they’ve become nearly obsolete.

It’s time to bring books, stories, and characters back from the past. Imagine if for every video game played, a child instead read a short story. SunnyD is proud to support children, teachers and parents across the country with the SunnyD Book Spree. The campaign has donated over $6 million in books since it was launched in 2009. It's the perfect way to bring more books and more opportunity into the classrooms of our future generation. And it’s our responsibility to put it in front of our kids.

Please join me, Latina Mom Bloggers and SunnyD on Thursday, November 6th 8:00 pm ET/5:00 pm PT. We’ll be sharing tips on how to get kids out from underneath the blanket of the games world and back into the pages of books.
