Purrrr…
You can write a good introduction by following
these three steps:
1. Start with a hook that asks a question
about your topic.
2. Answer the hook’s question.
3. Explain what readers will learn in your text.
Listen to that sound. It’s a cat purring.
But exactly why do our feline friends
purr? The reasons may surprise you! Most
people think purring always means that
a cat is happy and contented. It may be,
but there are actually several reasons why
cats make this soothing, unique sound.

Yummy Jelly Beans
To the Carrot Patch!
New Year's Fireworks
Hand out a class supply of jelly bean–shaped cutouts
that correspond to the colors in the rhyme. Direct each
child to hold her jelly bean in the air when she says its
color name.
Syllables
Create a New Year’s fireworks display in
your classroom with these projects. Place
colorful star-shaped foil stickers on a sheet
of black paper, being sure to leave plenty of
space around each star. Then use colored
chalk to draw lines out from each star. Lightly
mist the project with hair spray and set it
aside to dry.
Mark a line for youngsters to stand behind. Scatter
a class supply of carrot cutouts a distance away so they
resemble carrots in a carrot patch. To help your little
bunnies get to the carrot patch, say one-, two-, and
three-syllable words (see the bunny-related suggestions),
isolating each syllable and prompting youngsters to hop
forward one time for each word part. When students
reach the carrot patch, they pretend to nibble the carrots!

Counting, participating in a game
Program a plastic milk cap as shown (bunny
coin) and give each child a bunny cutout (patterns
on page 17) with a cotton ball tail on the flip
side. Before flipping the bunny coin, have each
student guess whether it will show heads or tails
when it lands by placing their cutout faceup
(heads) or facedown (tails). Flip the coin and then
have youngsters help you count the children who
guessed correctly. Prompt those youngsters to
hop like bunnies that many times as you lead their
classmates in counting aloud. Continue the game
until everyone has hopped.
To make confetti, cut thin strips of colorful
paper into small pieces over a paper plate.
Continue cutting until you have made a large
amount of confetti. Lay a sheet of black
construction paper inside a box lid. Squeeze
gel glue on the black paper in a design of your
choice. Then toss pinches of confetti into the
air above the box as you exclaim, “Happy New
Year!” Continue in this manner until a desired
effect is reached. Remove the paper from the
box and set it aside to dry.
Makes monthly planning a snap!
This action-packed song is sure to become an Earth Day favorite!

Follow the Path
Youngsters practice purple recognition
with this activity. In an open area, use clear
Con-Tact covering to attach a variety of colored
construction paper squares to the floor, ensuring
there is a path of purple squares. A child steps
on only the purple squares, saying the color word
as he steps on each square. Encourage students
to follow the purple path again, this time by
hopping, jumping, or tiptoeing.
Where Is It?
We
Students’ observation skills are the key to this
small-group activity! Gather three paper cups and
three objects that can fit under the paper cups
making sure that one of the objects is purple.
Place each of the objects under a different cup,
encouraging students to pay close attention
to where you place the purple object. Then
slide the cups around, making sure to keep the
objects covered. As you move the cups, remind
students to keep their eyes on the cup that is
covering the purple object. After moving the cups
several times, invite a volunteer to lift the cup
she believes is hiding the purple object. If she is
correct, have her hide the items and move the
cups for the next round. If she is incorrect, invite
a different child to try to find it.

B
This colorful craft is the perfect way to
review the sound of the letter B. Place corks in
shallow pans of paint. A child dips the corks
into the paint and makes prints on a sheet of
paper. When the paint dries, she uses a marker
to draw holes on each print so it resembles a
button. Then she touches each button and says,
“/b/, /b/, button.”
Bee’s Basket
Little ones are sure to be all abuzz about this
center. Place a basket in a large open area. Put
several objects or pictures of objects that begin with
/b/ along with a few distracters around the basket.
A child pretends to be a bee. She buzzes around the
center, stops at each object, and says its name. If it
begins with /b/, she places it in the basket. If the
object does not begin with /b/, she leaves it. She
continues until she has collected all the items that
begin with /b/.
Bear Wants More
Blowing Bubbles
Written by Karma Wilson
Illustrated by Jane Chapman
Head outside for this entertaining letterrecognition activity. Label several paper circles
(bubbles) with “B” or “b” and a few with other
letters. To begin the activity, give each child
a small bottle of bubbles. Hold up a bubble. If
the letter on the bubble is a B or b, invite the
children to blow bubbles. Continue with the
remaining bubbles.
Prior to a read-aloud of Bear Wants More
by Karma Wilson, set a bear puppet near your
storytime area. At the end of the story, put on
the bear puppet. Introduce the puppet as a
friend of Bear’s who is hungry but only likes to
eat things that begin with /b/, like bear. Invite
a volunteer to name a food that begins with /b/
and then pretend to feed it to the bear. Make the
bear puppet eat with great enthusiasm!
Hidden Colors
Your students will want to play this small-group
game again and again! In advance, glue black
construction paper squares and colored construction
paper squares back-to-back. Ensure that there are
several purple squares made in this manner. Then
arrange the squares (colored side down) in a circle on
the floor in your group area. Invite each child to stand
behind a square. Play soft music and invite students to
slowly walk around the outside of the squares. When
you stop the music, direct each child to stop by the
nearest square and pick it up. Have each child, in turn,
display her square and identify the color. Each child
who is not holding a purple square sits in the middle of
the circle for the next round of play.
