Teaching Kids to “Glue Raindrops, Not Puddles” – A Chestermere Playschool Favourite
At the beginning of the school year, we like to read the story 'Too Much Glue' by Jason Lefebvre. In the story, Matty uses too much glue and ends up getting stuck to his art project! So his art teacher reminds the class, "glue raindrops, not puddles!" We love this book to help our students practice using a small dot of liquid glue.
When we asked some of the local Kindergarten teachers what they hope to see in their students coming into Kindergarten they all said strong independence/self-help skills. In a preschool classroom with 24 kids and two teachers, we ask that all the kids at least TRY to put on their own outdoor gear.
