Huge Julia Donaldson fan over here! 📚Since finding Room on the Broom and The Gruffalo, I’ve grabbed every book of hers I can.
This one is perfect for this time of year and the animated version is beautifully done and goes along with it word for word. It’s free on Amazon Prime!🙌🏽🎄🎁
I highly recommend this magical mailbox 🎅🏽 from Target to up the engagement in your classroom this season!
The kids put a letter in, raise the flag, and whisper “Go to the North Pole!”. A little music plays and when they open the door, the letter has magically disappeared!
My girls were completely in awe. I’ll add a video in a bit for you to see their reactions.
I’m going to pair this with some 🎅🏽 letter writing practice pages from my resource on TPT and can’t wait to see the looks on my kindergarteners faces!
Have you read The Animals’ Santa yet? We LOVE this book.
The kids really enjoy the mystery of it. We pause and ring chimes to really help understand the 🐇’s idea better and we use the clues to try and guess who the Animals’ Santa is.
Some of Jan Brett’s books get a little long for k students but this one is a pretty quick read. On a side note, I do still love the longer picture books like Jan Brett’s others & the Berenstain Bear books. We read them to build their listening stamina. Did you know picture book authors are encouraged to keep their books under 500 words now? Attention spans are not what they used to be thanks to all of this technology and our fast-paced world!
