1-2-3 come Do Some Chrysanthemum Activities With Me “Chrysanthemum” by Kevin Henkes, is one of my all-time favorite back to school books. It’s perfect for a variety of ages, and especially wonderful as an introduction to name activities, as well as discussions about teasing, bullying and “filling buckets”. With that in mind, I enjoyed making a variety of Chrysanthemum-themed activities appropriate for PK-1st grade. I'll be sharing 3 of them in today's blog along with a sweet back to school…

Chrysanthemum is a classic book for teaching names, individuality, self-love and confidence! Hand in hand with that, is the important concepts of being accepting and supportive of others as well. I always love to add these concepts into our classroom mission statement that we create together during the first week of school. The skills are easily reinforced with the fun read aloud Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes. I’m excited to share with you the Chrysanthemum activities I use in my classroom.
