Today I made these little magazine/book holder boxes for Frank’s room. I had all of the supplies on hand so it was pretty cheap to make. I will post a tutorial later.

This is a cute story about all your favorite Mexican foods. We will read this again at Cinco de Mayo! This was Frank’s find when he visited the library today. At the end of the story it lists recipes for salsa, guacamole and more.
Frank and Beans love the story Go Away, Big Green Monster, so I made some of the face pieces from felt. They had fun playing with the pieces and creating their own monsters. Tomorrow I will encourage them to retell the story using the pieces. The pieces were very easy to make since the book has the cutouts on each page. I just traced each part onto stiff paper and then traced the pieces onto the felt.

When I was student teaching we did this cute story about a little witch trying to find a house for winter. You tell the story and cut out the orange paper as you read the story. The first cut is to cut the corners to make the roof. The second cut is her door that is pointed to fit her hat. Third you cut the window to let in light in the house. Lastly, she meets a ghost who she invites to live with her so she cuts a little door for the ghost. When you open the house to look inside you see a pumpkin or my kids just saw it as a face.
My kids love the Grinch. It was on ABC tonight so that was their special treat for the first day of the countdown to Christmas. They also had our favorite chocolate chip cookies baked fresh from the oven.
