Now soaring in Kindergarten
Jan Brett Activities: Jan Brett is the perfect author for this time of year. Her books and illustrations are fun to share. My students are especially fond of the windows on each page that show what is coming and what has happened. First up is The Hat since this is the book I made my first activity for because I couldn’t find anything I liked.
Wood Christmas Ornament: This year I decided to do something a little different than the traditional reindeer on doily ornament (see HERE). Instead I chose to buy these cute little wood discs (predrilled) for our thumbprint reindeer ornament. The Christmas ornament is a simple and sweet keepsake that parents will treasure always. Find the discs HERE on Amazon, be sure to choose the 3.1″-3.5″ size.
Christmas Crafts for Kids: It’s that time of year again where we do crafts for the holidays. We send them home as keepsakes or presents for parents. It seems trivial in some ways, but as a parent, I do love to pull out those handmade ornaments from when my kids were little. So I guess it isn’t that trivial at all, is it? Ornaments The
Directed Drawings for Hanukkah and the Nativity Directed Drawings for Hanukkah and the Nativity: By request, I have created a pack of Hanukkah themed directed drawings.

January Directed Drawings January Directed Drawings: January’s update includes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, a Snowman, a Fox, a Polar Bear, and a Penguin Directed or Guided Drawing.

February will be here before you know it and with it comes the season of love…so I decided to revise a Valentine’s Day craft pack from back in the day and add a close read and some super cute, updated pages for that day of love! <3 The close read is not as detailed as my typical ones, it’s just a bit of history about the
We learned about penguins this week….we read about them with my Penguin Close Read, we made the cute ones shown below from my Penguin Pack, we did a directed drawing {found HERE for free} and don’t forget that we watched penguins on the penguin cam, too! But that’s not all we did, we also learned a little about suspensions while we created the most amazing
Yay! I finished the Polar Bear Close Read just in time for me to go back to school Tuesday!!

I don’t think I would have ever said that penguins were my favorite animal…but they may be my favorite animal to teach about (especially after realizing how many packs I have devoted to them!) My latest? A fabulous (I hope) penguin close read. I am loving how it all came together! You can find it {HERE} on TpT Of course, I want to share a
