Chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum!!
A
favorite back to school story I like to do with my kinder is Chrysanthemum by
Kevin Henkes. This is a story about a little
mouse who believes her long name is perfect for her until she starts
school. She begins to doubt herself when
mean spirit classmates make fun of her name for being long and named after a
flower. Activities included labeling, graphing your name, bullying traits, name activities
and much, much more!
Castle
Creations!
I
use this resource as a culminating activity for a unit on teaching basic facts about castles. This product will reinforce your social
studies lesson on castles., fairy tales, or shapes. Included: foldable activity “If I lived in a castle, I would…., color word activity, create a castle
using colorful shapes, knight and princess headbands, design a flag, and design a family shield or a me shield. Pictures of
castle art work made by my students
is also included.
A
House is a Home for Everyone!
Tired of
the same teaching themes and you want a change?
After coming across the book A House is a House for Me
by Mary Ann Hoberman, (which I fell in love with), I
decided to do a unit on Homes (and
Family) in lieu of The Gingerbread Man in December. The potential of the use of a “Home” theme
is incredible and limitless and still reinforces remediation skills that some
children still need. This is an important concept to me because of my own
experiences of teaching so far away from family. A high degree of mobility is
demanded of our students. Our children move around the
world, acclimating themselves to new cultures, new friends, new homes and new
surroundings. Therefore a home is such a precious concept.
In this unit you will find math and literacy activities, an emergent
reader and take home ideas for family projects.
Carrots!

have fun and appreciate one of the most popular veggies we have! It includes templates for: a sequencing activity, a carrot craft,
sorting activity, garden of patterns, and more! All the templates come with
pictures of what finished products may look like. Templates my be run off in

thinking map, reading activity, carrot craft, color words, sorting veggies and
fruits and patterning activity.
