January Idea Book: A Creative Idea Book for the Elementary Teacher, PS-6

I love these books.I have the whole collection and I use them often.I highly recomend them for the patterns and ideas.They are my favorite and get shared in the Childcare Center I work in.Great for Early Childhood yeachers.Also has bulletin board ideas in the back.

I have the entire set of these books and love them all. The fact that everything is reprintable is such a valuable addition to any teachers library. So many books are offered like these, but when you get them they will have many pages in bold color which doesn't reprint with any kind of quality. These are clear, full size, and perfect for in-class worksheets. All kinds of great ideas to help you plan ahead of time and even covers the holidays that one might forget about until they are upon you and it's too late to squeeze into an already busy class curriculum. Highly Recommended!

The book begins with a day-by-day list of all the celebrations throughout the month (not only the famous ones but others as well...do you know when oil was discovered in Texas?), and then a reproducible calendar for the classroom with clip art of symbols to place on the calendar. January idea book contains reproducibles for the following topics: Winter Activities (including a wordsearch, science experiments, a Math Snowman wheel, snowman patterns, bookmarks, pencil toppers, awards, certificates, etc), Around the Year (which contains a cut out desktop calendar to assemble, a shape book, monthly reports, monthly clip art), New Year's Day (a word search, a shape book, happy new year visor), Chinese New Year (a chinese zodiac poster, a fish-shaped kite, a board game, banner, tangram activities, lined paper, and more), Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (bulletin board displays, a mobile, a report form), Eskimos (word search, eskimo report, totem pole), and Arctic and Antarctic animals (puppets, stand-up figures, maps, booklets, lined paper, and more). All the books in the collection contain reproducible international children that can be used for multicultural bulletin boards. For this month, the kids featured are an Eskimo boy and an Eskimo Girl, and a Chinese boy and a Chinese girl. And for every holiday, you will find not only lots of creative activities but also historical information to support the learning. Great resources for the elementary teacher!
