Here is a VERY IMPORTANT message to all parents and teachers. The video is worth viewing all the way through. The research and statistics are troubling.

Here are TWO very fun circle time activities that the children LOVE to help you act out. Be expressive and enjoy the laughter! Be sure to watch BOTH videos, below:

Create a seasonal feel of falling leaves right in your classroom. (Not necessary to write names on each hand…make it a community activity and fun to wonder who’s hand it is.) ​​

Each child can trace his/her hand on fall-colored construction paper, cut it out (remember, it does not need to look perfect), punch a hole on the wrist, and thread colored yarn through hole. Hang each leaf-hand from the ceiling.

Autumnal (Fall) Equinox:

• Northern Hemisphere (USA & Central America, Asia, Canada, Europe, Northern Africa): –September 23
• Southern Hemisphere (Australia, New Zealand, South America, Southern Africa) –           March 20 

        

Did you know?…The blue-eyed black lemur is the only primate besides humans to have blue eyes.
