Calendar Fun for the New Year!
Just in time to start the New Year with a crafty
"Perpetual Calendar”
This is a great tool for helping students get the concept of the changing days and months in a hands-on way. Changing the calendar every day reinforces the names of the days of the week and the months of the year. They also learn that not all the months have the same number of days.

Book Highlight - “The Mitten Tree”
Many of us are familiar with the storybook "The Mitten" and there is another wonderful story to share called "The Mitten Tree" by Candace Christiansen.
The story is about Sarah whose children have all grown up and new children in her neighborhood. It is about an act of kindness that sparked another kindness in return that brought happiness to the whole neighborhood.
I hope you enjoy sharing this story as much as I have over the years.

Santa Countdown!
Kids love to count down to special days. The activity of a countdown provides practice counting forward each day as well as counting back to determine how many days are left before the special day.
This special Santa has 25 presents in his beard. Each day the child covers one of the presents with a cotton ball. By Christmas, he has grown a fluffy white beard!

Books to Read for Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a special time to look back on our history and marvel at how things have changed. With our children so engrossed in electronics and modern convenience, there is little thought as to where things come from or even how they came to be. I like to read aloud and share these books and other similar books at this time of year. While I am reading, I stop and ask questions and start discussions comparing then and now.
These books are all from Scholastic and there are some other similar books from National Geographic.
The three pictured here are:
"Sarah Morton's Day”
by Kate Waters
(there are also books for a Pilgrim boy and a Wampanoag boy)
"If You Sailed on the Mayflower in 1620"
by Ann McGovern
"Chronicle of America: Colonial Times"
by Joy Masoff

Also, our VIDEOS are coming to Teachers Pay Teachers!! TPT is making video instruction and fun available directly on their site.

Alphabet Fun For Thanksgiving
If it is November, it must be time for thinking about home, family, and food. We have 2 freebies from the Alphabet Art books to get you started.
"H is for Home" uses the Upper Case H to make a house. The doors and windows open so you can see family and friends. For the little ones, practice writing their address and phone number on the roof. (Click Here for freebie)
The lowercase "c is for cooking" features an excited chef ready to make Thanksgiving dinner. A circle time poem and writing prompts for older kids are included. (Click Here for freebie)
~~~~~~
The perfect read aloud is "Alligator Arrived With Apples - A Potluck Alphabet Feast" by Crescent Dragonwagon.
Using fun illustrations and wonderful alliteration, the animals all arrive with edibles via wacky modes of transportation.
There are great writing spin off opportunities for older kids; asking them to use nouns, verbs, and adverbs to create their own animal feast. An example: "Llama lugged lemons, limes, and lingonberries.”
So keep the brain engaged and build some fun holiday memories with these projects!

A Few More Treats for Halloween
One of my favorite read-aloud books is One Witch by Laura Leuk. The rhymes count forward from one to ten and then back from ten to one and the art is wonderful. The art appeals to the older kids as well as the younger ones and offers great opportunities for story starters and rhyme rewrites.
~~~~~~
In keeping with the theme of our last several new products, I am adding 2 more File Folder Games to our product line reinforcing the concepts of the skeleton.
The first one shows a girl running and the child can overlay the skeleton parts in the correct places. It can be reversed by gluing the skeleton to the file folder then letting the child place the parts of the girl over the correct skeleton pieces.
The second File Folder Game shows skeletons from various animals (including human) and the child places the "animal cards" in the correct pocket.
These File Folder Games are available on Teachers Pay Teachers and Teachers Notebook. Click here to find these titles on our Science page.
One last treat!
All of our science products
will be on sale from
Friday (10/28) through Sunday (10/30)
Have a happy, healthy, and safe Halloween!!
