The Kissing Hand
September 14, 2011
Last year, I wrote about my go-to books to kick off the school year. The Kissing Hand, by Audrey Penn, continues to be one of them – it’s such a warm and fuzzy favourite, I’m sure it’s on many teachers’ reading lists for September.
After hearing, “Is it home time yet?” on more than one occasion, we read the book together and took the opportunity to draw and share pictures of our families whom we love so dearly and think of while at school.
Just getting to know more about each other, our families … and their cool hairstyles.

I miss having an excuse to check out your blog… now I just lurk. I feel like a stalker! Oh well, here’s a few minutes with Finn since he’s not in your class: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SesO0w_KhNk
