5.0 out of 5 stars Very good activities, September 3, 2001

This review is from: Fresh & Fun: September (Grades K-2) (Paperback)

This is a very good resource book for nice activites for Back-to-School days and beyond. The 'Lift-the-Flap Class Album' activity or the 'Classroom Portrait Quilt' are great for the very first day in class, and they might be adapted to older students as well.I also liked 'Qick as a Cricket' and the 'Hands'On Welcome Wreath'. On the overall I am sure I will use this book for years to come, both with my homeschooler, and with my Italian students of Scuola Elementare Statale, and I will use those ideas for first to fifth graders. I am planning to buy the whole series.
