Next week we will begin our third unit in our reading and language arts program entitled "I am Responsible!"
One of the things I will do to launch the THEME is to begin student weekend visits with our classroom mascot "First Mate Froggy"
Below is a copy of the letter I created to send home.

I can't wait to see what the children write and add to the FROG LOG each week!
we have got a mascot called Norton. kids adore it but i do not let them take it home. the teachers teaching 4th and 5th teachers made a project last year. i am sure you have heard of it before. adventures of stanley. kids take it home and they write what they do with him and they take photographs too and we had a partner school. later we exchanged our projects wth them and learnt about their city. this year we have a partner from France and sending our little Stanley and the girlie- Stacey- to France.
ReplyDeleteKids are sooo excited.
I couldn't open your document. Love the title of Frog Log! We have a class mascot who gets to go home with the kids a week at a time. Class pets don't because I haven't had good luck with that in the past...:( I posted about my mascot on my blog a while back.

Your document wouldn't open for me. I'd love to see it! My ocean themed classroom has a mascot as well, an Octopus named Ollie! The kids just love him! I send him home with them in a bag with beach and ocean themed books and a small bag of goldfish crackers. Love the Frog Log idea, that's super cute!!
ReplyDeleteOur class has Rex, the bulldog, he was the mascot of my 1st graders 2 schools back!!
ReplyDeleteI took him to London & now that his journal is full of FUN I can't change him to a husky (my current school's mascot). But, the kids love him all the same & my class has a Disney theme so the student who takes Rex is our "Weekly Mouseketeer"!!!!
Where did u get that frog?!?! I need him!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the great feedback... I love to hear what others teachers are doing in their classrooms. The file should now be available for download - I had forgotten to "SHARE" it in google docs.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I did not purchase the frog so I can't tell you where to get it. One of my sons won it playing a carnival type game at an amusement park and was kind enough to donate it to my classroom. Gosh I love that kid!!!!
Debbie,
ReplyDeleteI love your frog mascot. My preschool class theme is frogs and I am putting together my mascot bag. I was wondering if you could share your mascot letter as a word document and what does your journal page look like? I'll check your website in a couple of days.
Thank you
