November 29, 2021

What do you love most about winter? For me, it’s playing in the snow, drinking hot cocoa, and curling up under a blanket to watch movies. With winter just around the corner, help your students celebrate the excitement of the changing season with these winter writing crafts! These are a great tool to help students share their favorite things about winter.

With winter just around the corner, help your students celebrate the excitement of the changing season with these winter writing crafts! These are a great tool to help students share their favorite things about winter.

Winter Writing Crafts

Hot Cocoa Craft

When the temperatures drop, warm up to winter with this hot cocoa craft. The cup opens up to reveal a piece of student writing. Students can mix and match the template colors and sayings to create the perfect mug for them.

Each craft includes writing templates. You can choose between handwriting lines or standard lines. Because these crafts can be made into booklets, students can add more than one writing page, if needed.

Mittens Craft

Are your students smitten about winter? Let them share their favorite things about the season with this mittens craft. Students can easily add a piece of writing behind the mittens. Then place the crafts on display for others to enjoy!

Attach student writing behind each mitten. When you lift the mitten string, the writing is revealed. Or, if you are allowed to hang crafts from the ceiling, glue student writing to the back side of these mittens and put them on display for everyone to enjoy.

Winter Hat Craft

Warm up to winter with this fun hat craft. Students can mix and match the templates to create the perfect hat for them. You can even add writing inside the hat to make a fun hallway display.

As the temperatures drop outside students can capture their favorite things about the season with this winter hat craft. The hat opens up to reveal a piece of writing. Print the templates on a variety of your favorite winter colors to create a colorful bulletin board display.

Sledding Craft

Students will love sharing about their favorite winter adventures with this sledding craft. The sled opens up to reveal student writing. These would look great on a hallway display!

This sledding kid craft has the most pieces to put together, but it’s one of my favorites! The sled lifts up to reveal a piece of writing and would look great on a bulletin board.

Penguin Craft

Add a little more fun to your penguin unit with this craft. Students can add several pages of writing to the penguin's tummy to create a booklet. These would make a great bulletin board display all winter long.

Many teachers do a penguin unit in winter, so I included this penguin craft. If you want to pair this craft with a penguin book, here are some of my favorite penguin books for kids.

Polar Bear Craft

Add a little more fun to your polar bear unit with this craft. This page topper can be added to a piece of writing for a fun winter bulletin board display.

This polar bear writing craft is a page topper rather than a craft booklet. However, if students have several pages of writing, staple the pages together near the top center before attaching the paws and head to the first page. If you want to combine this polar bear craft with a book, here are some great books about polar bears.

You can find all six of these winter writing crafts here:

Another trip to the library? Sounds like a good id Another trip to the library? Sounds like a good idea to me! Which of these titles would you read first?
One thing we’re doing this summer is reading all One thing we’re doing this summer is reading alllll the books (big shocker, I know 😉). My kids love funny books, so I thought it was time to introduce them to Those Darn Squirrels!⁣
⁣
This book follows Old Man Fookwire, a grump who likes painting pictures of the birds near his home. As the weather starts to get colder, he is determined to keep the birds close by, so he fills his backyard with bird feeders.  Soon the birds flock to the feeders, but so do the squirrels. The story takes a humorous turn as the grumpy old man faces off against some clever, but mischievous squirrels. Can you guess who comes out on top?⁣

Our library’s summer reading challenge has offic Our library’s summer reading challenge has officially started, which means my kids are asking for more frequent trips to swap out their books. That means I get more time to browse the picture books. Here’s what I brought home on our latest trip. Do you spy a favorite book or a new title that catches your eye?
When you feel angry, you might notice your face ge When you feel angry, you might notice your face getting hot, your jaw clenching, your belly tightening, your fists balling, or your heart pounding. Recognizing anger is often easier than understanding the true cause behind it. And if you think it’s hard for adults, imagine how confusing it is for kids! I want to share a new SEL book for kids that focuses on identifying and managing anger.⁣
⁣
The students at Sunnyvale Elementary carry a lot in their backpacks - including some things you can’t see quite so well, like big feelings and confusing emotions. Today, one fiery red book keeps spilling out and exploding onto everyone: ANGER! It’s time for the kids to use their best detective skills to figure out what’s underneath those angry feelings.⁣
⁣
“Anger is tricky that way. It tries to protect us from uncomfortable feelings by making us feel strong and in control…”⁣
⁣
Hello, Anger will be released on Thursday 6/2. If you preorder the book through NCYI by June 1st, you can grab a FREE resource bundle to pair with it. Visit helloanger.com to learn more. Thank you to @nationalcenterforyouthissues and @jessicasinarski for sharing this book with my family!⁣

Mabel’s family just gave her the best news ever Mabel’s family just gave her the best news ever - she gets to choose the new family pet! She selects an elephant! 🐘 Mabel is thrilled that her new pet gives big hugs, the best rides, and even has a built-in slide. But when the elephant tramples through the garden and sits on her mom, Mom says, “NOT THAT PET! Choose something SMALLER!” That’s when Mabel chooses ants. 🐜🐜🐜⁣
⁣
It isn’t long before the ants cause problems for another family member and Mabel is left to swap them out for something new. However, with each new pet comes new problems. The animals are too smelly🦨, too scary🕷, too wriggly🪱, and even too prickly🦔. That’s when Mabel comes up with an idea for the PERFECT pet. Will her family agree? The ending might just surprise you!⁣
⁣
What kind of animal would make you say, “NOT THAT PET!”?⁣

Whether you’ve been actively working on mindfuln Whether you’ve been actively working on mindfulness with your kids or looking to get started, I have a book I think you’re going to love! ⁣
⁣
Happy: A Beginner’s Guide to Mindfulness gently encourages readers to slow down, explore their emotions, and take the time to notice the beautiful world that surrounds them. The illustrations complement the poetic text beautifully and I love that there are little reminders tucked in throughout the story for students to practice mindfulness. Swipe to take a peek inside.⁣

How do you help your kids practice mindfulness?⁣
