Last week, Reagan from
Tunstall's Teaching Tidbits, posted her Winter Art and Writing Unit and I instantly fell in love with her Valentine Froggy art project. I needed to teach a winter writing lesson this week, so I decided to modify the project to go with the book Froggy Gets Dressed (Which I love because when my oldest daughter was 3 and they read the book in her pre-k class, she pulled up her dress and made sure everyone in her class knew that she did NOT forget her underwear. lol). Anyway..... We read the book Froggy Gets Dressed. Since Froggy spent so much time trying to get dressed that he never got to play outside, we decided to brainstorm a list of things Froggy could have done if he had stayed inside. The students had their own dry erase boards as we "shared the pen" to create the list. Then we made Froggy :)
Check out Reagan's post
here and the unit on TPT
here. The unit contains fun writing and art projects for Tacky the Penguin, The Emperor's Egg, MLK, Froggy's First Kiss, George Washington, and a torn paper snowman project. The patterns are easy to use and so cute!!
I had to leave to get to another campus, so I didn't get the chance to put the bulletin board together with all of the Froggy's before I left.
Here is Madison when she was 3 and in pre-k. Now she is 18 and a college freshman. Wow... how time flies!!

Thanks Tarra. Your words made my day!! :) I just added your blog to my blog roll.
I totally know what you mean about children growing up fast! I can remember when my daughter helped me sort M&M's when she was 5, and now she's 21 and in college. I also share your dream of working at the university level teaching early childhood teachers. If you ever need ideas for visually impaired students, please keep me in mind. I'm a blind pre-k teacher.
