"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."

Transition Tuesday

Try this finger play for the winter season. It would be great to recite as children are waiting in line (or anytime)!

MITTENS

Thumbs in the thumb place.
    (Stretch out thumbs.)
Fingers all together.
    (Put fingers together.)
This is the rhyme
We say in mitten weather.
When it is cold
    (Wrap arms around self.)
It does not matter whether
Mittens are wool
    (Hold out left hand.)
Or made of finest leather.
    (Hold out right hand.)
