Teachers Storytime – Revised
Teachers are a great topic for a community helper storytime, since most young children know what a teacher does even if they haven’t started school yet. For a craft project, make a teacher bookmark (Printable Bookmarks for Teachers (dltk-kids.com) or a felt goodie bag (Felt Goodie Bag for Teacher - Make and Takes).
