The Kissing Hand
By Brenda

I have an open house before school starts. I give out handbook, etc. and a take home project for The Kissing Hand. I give them a piece of construction paper to trace their hand on, and a pre-printed piece of white paper
with some sort of cute border around it. With their family, they complete the project - trace hand on construction paper, cut it out and glue in the center of white paper, find a family picture and attach it to their project. These will be hung up on the first day of school on a bulletin board. I read them the book on the first day and send home a heart sticker and a note telling parents

to put the sticker on their child's hand and then kiss it. When they come to school the next day, if the sticker is still on their hand they can put it to their handprint in bulletin board. Children love this display and take comfort in having a family photo in their room.
