Kindergarten and Junior Kindergartners listened to different books in the Elmer the Elephant series: Elmer the Elephant, Elmer in the Snow and Elmer and the Kangaroo by David McKee. I use these books to reinforce ideas such as kindness, encouragement and sharing. After talking about the story, students layered tissues paper squares onto a paper plate to mimic Elmer's patchwork skin. Next they added colorful ears and a rolled up trunk. We reviewed how to safely staple to protect little fingers. Wearing their masks, each child left eager to see the world through Elmer's eyes. Masks are always a hit!
