5.0 out of 5 stars
I get great ideas from this book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: All About Pockets: Storytime Activities for Early Childhood (Paperback)
This book has all different ways to use pockets as a teaching tool, but I like the extra suggestions and so-called extended activities, too. There are ways to pull out the book to use with math and language lessons, not just when I'm doing my special pocket unit, which is one of the most popular for my 4 and 5 year olds. This author has excellent ideas for language development, especially in helping kids to speak in sentences instead of just phrases. It's a bargain at any price.

Vos poches et celles des animaux,
By
This review is from: All About Pockets: Storytime Activities for Early Childhood (Paperback)
Un très bon livre sans aucun doute! Des histoires, des chansons, des comptines amuseront vos enfants pendant des heures. A la fin de chaque chapitre il y a une biographie qui mérite 5 sur 5. Les animaux ont aussi des poches et pas seulement les kangourous! Devinez qui d'autre?..
