I have used this web during my work as a Speech & Language Assistant. Filling out the various categories in the web to describe an object helps improve and expand students' language and organizational skills. I hope that you find it useful.

This is a fun activity to try with your students after reading "The Mitten". I use child-size mittens (2 different sizes). Use the plastic counting bears - stick with only one size. It is surprising how many of those little bears will fit in a small mitten! Can be done as a large group or during math centres. (I have also retold the story using a large wool mitten and small stuffed animals.)The kids love it! I hope you enjoy this printable.

Hands on fun for your students to experiment with mixing colours. Let each children pick the two primary colours that they'd like to mix. I pour a small amount of tempera paint on margarine container lids (or pie plates) and let them put each hand into a separate colour.

Here is a printable song that has interactive pieces to help children with rhyming words.

Print on cardstock for more durability. The children can draw faces in the circles and make patterns with stickers or crayons on the quilt. The numbers are in gray ink so that the students can trace on top. Have them cut the dotted lines. As you sing the song, after each verse, have them fold down one head, beginning with the n
