Have you read the story Winter Dance? It's a fun story about a fox who is trying to figure out what he should do now that winter is here.

Fox visit other first animals to ask their advice. They suggest activities that work for them, but they won't necessarily work for Fox.

This story is a fun story for your students to act out with movements, especially on winter days when you are inside due to weather!

April Fool's Day is this week! I love this day. It is always so cute to see the little tricks my students like to play with me. ⁣
⁣
I like to join in on the fun as well with brown 'e's. Have you heard or tried this? You basically hype the kids up and tell them they will be making brown 'e's later in the day. Of course, they think brownies. When the time comes, hand out e's on brown construction paper for them to cut out their brown e's. It's a fun little trick! Of course, it is a good idea to have real brownies on hand for the end. You can read more about it and get your free letters e printable in my link in bio.
