What did we do to explore Squirrel’s New Year’s Resolution?
JDaniel has been practicing writing his name. This week I had him practice writing his name and the word squirrel with a pencil and a highlighter. He wrote with pencil on the words I wrote with a highlighter and with a highlighter over the words I wrote with pencil. Then I had him write some on his own.

Thanks for posting this book. I like to read holiday books with the kids and haven’t heard of this one. I pinned it! http://pinterest.com/jmommymom/

This book was part of our New Year’s Day activities this year. I like the ideas you did with it. I used highlighters a lot in the classroom. The kids loved the novelty of a new writing tool, and they were great for locating letters that we were focusing on.

We just read this story this week and my girls loved it. Can’t wait to play Peek a Book with squirrel this afternoon with the girls. It’s a fun book to teach resolutions with. We also have some fun New Years Printables on our site that JDaniel might enjoy too. http://theeducatorsspinonit.blogspot.com/2012/12/new-years-activities-printables-for-kids.html

We will have to check our library for the squirrel book.

My kids both love highlighters, but I’ve never thought of using them to help in writing. Love it!

We read this book a couple of years ago – it’s perfect for New Year.

that’s great to use the highlighter to work with his writing.
when we were working with his alphabet, I would use the highlighter to go over what he did know… and that way I would know which ones he needed to work on, since they were not highlighted yet…

I like the staking the perimeter activity.

I love how you do activities to enhance your reading of a book. As I’ve said before, he is a lucky kid!
