Move and breathe through a childhood classic. The Napping House by Don and Audrey Wood has been a favorite story in my classes for years, and with a librarian’s suggestion, I brought it to life through yoga for the first time in 2012. Now accompanied by our beautiful illustrations, we can use this yoga sequence to promote a lifelong love of learning, reading, and healthy habits.

Each of the characters in the story is paired with a yoga pose, and each page adds another character in order. As the sequence builds, the poses come together in a beautiful flow. Do the poses as you read, or read and then do the poses—whatever feels the best to you.

This lesson plan is a perfect resource for teachers, parents or clinicians who want bring the story to life with movement. We’ve included a story script and a list of poses so children can learn the yoga sequence.

The Napping House Literacy Integration is a 14-page PDF download that you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print to paper.
This download contains the following:

• The Napping House Lesson Plan designed for kids ages 4-10

• List of yoga poses, props and key themes that relate to the story

• Story script to read along with The Napping House

• Guided relaxation, meditation script, crafts, and group activities

• The Napping House yoga sequence poster, with nine (9) poses

With love from my heart and my team to you!

File Folder Uppercase & lowercase Letter Match:

This is a great file folder game for your students. It’s a fun way for your students to practice matching the correct Uppercase and lowercase letters together. There is #2 pages of Uppercase letters as well as #2 pages of lowercase letters.

This is a fun activity that not only focuses on matching rhyming words but also gives your students a way to practice their fine motor cutting skills. There are #10 different fall words (in both black and white as well as color). Each word has #5 different words to cut out and then choose which words rhyme with the fall themed word on the pumpkin. They will then glue the words that rhyme to the pumpkin. Below is a list of the #10 fall themed words. There is both a black and white copy as well as a copy in color for each word that you can choose from. Sometimes I prefer printing in color and then other times I like to give my students the opportunity to make it their own and color their work. So it just depends on which way you prefer!

List Of Fall Themed Words In This Package:

• Fall
• Leaf
• Bug
• Ghost
