Merry Christmas! I absolutely love this holiday! It is my favorite! It is hard not to get excited when the kids come in all ready for Christmas! I think that I work with the best age group in regards to Christmas! Their ideas on Santa Claus, Rudolph, the elves and reindeer, as well as the North Pole never cease to amaze me!
This edition of the Explore to Learn: Early literacy blog is going to be a bit different. Instead of giving you step-by-step of what we did, I am going to put it in pictures! I will give you a few book, song, and craft suggestions!
Books
 |
| This book is great for younger children. I love counting books and this book counts backwards. There are also some great sound effects in this one! |
 |
| Who doesn't love Ollie books? This book is also great for a younger audience. They will have no problem sitting through this one! |
 |
| Pop-up! Say no more! I read this to a mixed ages group with no problems at all! |
 |
| Who doesn't love the "If You Give" mouse books? I don't know a single good who doesn't giggle at all the mischief this little mouth causes. |
 |
| A holiday classic! If you haven't read this yet... DO! Although a bit long, the pictures are beautiful and will keep your child's attention! |
 |
| Everyone needs a good Christmas bedtime story, right? This one is more about winter than Christmas, butit is still a great tale. |
 |
| Perhaps my kids favorite that I read. Anything by Robert Sabuda is great! He takes this classic and makes it so much fun with the pop-ups! |
 |
| Need a book that covers Christmas and New Year's? This is it! With great rhyming lines, you can't go wrong with this choice! |
