November Songs and Ideas
This month we want to share some of our favorite songs and activities for the month of November to help you get inspired and excited for your next month of teaching!
If you enjoy the podcast and can review us on iTunes that would be amazing of you! We really appreciate your reviews as they help us continue to make the podcast and help other teachers to find us.
Kindergarten Kiosk is a proud member of the Education Podcast Network, a network of podcasts for educators by educators. Check out the other great podcasts!
The book “The Family” is a great example of a paper book that awards opportunity to provide strategic practice with text. To make this book, simply copy pages 1 and 2, 3 and 4 on the back of each other, cut in half and collate. Copy page 8 and cut in half to make the last page of the book and a blank outside cover.
