markers (3), stickers (2), colored pencils (2), I like the idea having the kids read both Rapunzel and Rumpelstiltskin for a study of Renaissance fairytales. They could choose which one they like best and do a collage of a scene out of the story. The teacher could have several supplies like gold thread (2), etc for children to use. (2), etc (1), Have the kids each draw an egg sitting in a place where you would never expect. Share the drawings with the class. (1), After reading the book aloud have a little class discussion on what they would like someone to do if they received a bump on the head. Teach a little lesson on the golden rule. (1), You could have the students tell about a time when they triend something new that was a little scary (like a new food or activity). Were they happy they tried it out? Why or why not? (1), Read this story to kindergarteners or first graders who are new to school and have never experienced a snow day. Talk about what can happen when it snows on a school day. School can be cancelled for the day (1), busses can come late (1), or school might just be on a normal schedule. (1), Have each child draw something that they would like to find if they were the pengun. Have them each pick a single color and then the class share their colorful ideas! (1), This class can study the history of Tsunamis and earthquakes. (1), Read this to the class for a good laugh and have a discussion about how they feel about technology. Do they like to read? Do they read very often? How much do they play video games or watch TV versus reading books? (1), Use this opportunity to teach about twins (1), I think children could write about where the've lived and grown up. How has growing up in the city (1), country or in between played a part in their lives? (1), Have each child choose an animal that they are curious about. Have them look up the animal on the computers in the library and come up with several facts to present to the class.

(1), This is a good read aloud book that teaches a great lesson. I would ask the students questions along the way. Do you think that the snake can play? Why is it important that they let the little snake play? (1), We could have each student design their own paper mittens with glitter (1), colorful paper (1), This can simply be a book read alouid to the class to promote book and reading! (1), This would be a good book to have when doing a study of Greek Mythology as it is full of Myths. You could have each student read a different myth and familiarize the class with the story. (1), The teacher could do an art project where each student incorporates nothing other than spots. The assignment description should be left up to all sorts of interpretaion to promote unique creativity.

(1), yarn (1), draw (1), marshmallows (1), This would be a good resource for doing some research for a science project on weather. An activity relating to this book would be for children to research a famous storm and write a short paper telling about the storm. They could each come up with one sa (1), I think a fun classroom activity would be for each child to come up with what they would need to make their favorite soup. I could see children getting very creative with this . . . chocolate (1), reeces pieces (1), M&M's? You could have each child choose 6-10 ingredients! (1), I think of a simple activity with this one.

(1), Since the book is a classic we see some language or phrases that might not be so familiar. Have everyone in the class find a word or phrase and seek to understand it's meaning. (1), This would be a good book to spawn class discussion of many challenges that women have faced in the U.S. and other countries over the years.

Does the student enjoy reading stories that evoke these wmotions? Why or (1), Have each student come up with their favorite quote in the book. Why did they choose that particular quote? (1), This book is for little ones! We could have each child take turns picking their favorite rail car and paint it by making a square box with four round wheels at the bottem.
