Well, it's four days after the storm and Connecticut is slowly getting back to normal. Many of my co-workers and neighbors are still without power and/or water and the clean-up is taking its toll on everyone's spirits a little. We've certainly seen worse storms, but this one was just so widespread that its just going to take time to get everything up and running. That apparently includes the start of school. Teachers were supposed to return to work this past Monday, and the first day of…

Today we read The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn. It is a story about a little raccoon who is feeling a bit scared to go to school on his first day. His mother comes up with an idea to help her little raccoon to remember that she loves him and is thinking about him even when she isn't with him. We talked about our nervousness about coming to school and also about how our moms and dads might feel when we are away from them. We made some special kissing hands for our parents or loved ones!We are…

1-2-3 Come Do Some Kissing Hand Activities With Me My kiddos LOVE the story The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn. Little ones identify with the anxious feelings of Chester the raccoon, when he doesn’t want to go to school. The warming kiss from his mom, resonates in comfort for them as well.

The packet has a ton of super-fun activities to help reinforce a variety of…

Our classes and days can be unpredictable and it takes some time to get students acclimated to classroom routines and procedures. Even if you have a basal curriculum, chances are you don't start teaching from it right away as there are pre-assessments, community building activities, and teaching routines to attend to. If you want to kick off the school year in a fun, meaningful way; and aren't…

Yesterday, for our first rug time we read The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn. It's a really cute book about a raccoon who is afraid of going to school. His mom kisses his palm to remind him that she loves him and tells him if he places his palm to his cheek the kiss will be there. I wanted a felt story to go with this, but didn't want to make a trillion felt pieces so I came up with this. Here is a poem I made to go with it: Kissing Hand by Analisa Carrillo Chester the Raccoon really missed his…
