Very Quiet Cricket


I have spent the last 9 years as a support person for an Early Reading First Grant.  As a part of this grant, we made and help make classroom materials that would enrich literacy in the preschool classroom.  I have made zillions of flannelboard stories during this time, some with help from others (other blogs, preschool curriculum websites, and my student assistants.)  Today, I would like to show you one of my first and favorites, "The Very Quiet Cricket" by Eric Carle, who is easily my favorite children's book author/illustrator. If you would like the pattern in PDF format, please email me.  I haven't quite gotten how to post a file yet!

First Time Blogger

Well, I have finally gotten around to creating my blog...Now I only have to remember to post to it every once in a while.  I thought I'd use this space to show off and share my creative endeavors, from flannelboard stories and classroom materials to design work and crafts.  Hope you enjoy!  For my first post, I will share some simple accessories that I made for my nephew Tony's room.
