Too much glue

My first full week of school is over and I am T.I.R.E.D! Here's a peek at some of the things we worked on…. After reading 'Too Much Glue' we practiced our gluing skills by squeezing a dot of glue on a construction paper glue bottle with dots on it for visual cues. Each little learner then placed an Ellison die cut out of a mini crayon on the dot of glue. They LOVED this activity. Using liquid glue makes my little ones so happy. It cracks me up. :) For your own copy of the glue bottle we used…

We are already back in the swing of things and we love it. To follow up yesterday's theme of "First" we talked about "Second". On our second day of school we talked about the letter b, the number 2, and even Pennsylvania. Later on we read a fun book about what happens if we use too much glue. While reading Too Much Glue we worked on building story listening skills, as well as making basic prediction. Afterwards, we made ourselves the matching glue suit that the main character makes himself…

Love is like glue. Having the right glue will supply the necessary bond to make that which was once broken, even a heart, just like new. Cute quote right? To tell you the truth, I truly have a love, hate relationship with glue. It's a crucial component to our instruction with interactive the name of the game. But seriously, glue can be found anywhere and everywhere. Control is so challenging for a six year old. In their mind, a dot of glue will NEVER do! It's my goal to establish strong…

I love when I walk into the bookstore and see a book that is a perfect fit for something I'm planning to teach. One such book that was new to me but was actually published a year ago is the hysterical Too Much Glue by Jason Lefebvre. The little boy in the book ignores his teacher's warning that if he uses too much glue it will never dry. He creates a gooey mess and ends up sticking himself to the desk. His friends try to help him and finally his dad saves the day. It's really funny, the…

Hey Kinder Friends, Thinking about Back to School always makes me think of glue. I had my basket loaded with bottles just the other...

The boys and I recently checked out the 'School' section at the library as we prepare for Back to School! I found this GREAT book: It is about a boy who L-O-V-E-S glue...the more glue the better! BUT his art teacher warns him... Do you think he listened? NO! (How often have you seen this expression...this mess...this double fisted glue-crazed kiddo?!) Well after he makes this 'too much glue' creation, he decides to jump in and become a part of his masterpiece...only problem...school ends in…
