The Kissing Hand
By Rosa

|
There are always a few kids that will cry on the first day of school. To help ease the transition from home to school I read the "Kissing Hand" by Audrey Penn. In this clever adoreable story, the little racoon is afraid to go to school. His mother kisses his hand to remind him that she is always with him. As homework I have the students go home retell the story and ask their mom (any care giver) to kiss their hand. The next day they come in very excited and are eager to share their kissing hand. When I see a student ready to cry I remind them of their kissing hand. Good Luck!!
