This is a FUN & EDUCATIONAL literacy bag based on the children's book
series SKIPPYJON JONES by Judy Schachner.  This crazy Siamese cat is
always imagining himself on some great adventure and kids are going to
enjoy finding out what he's into next.   As a teacher, I always strive to
create activities that are not only fun but have an academic focus.  
Activities are laminated in 3 mil. film for extra durability and everything is
already cut out for you.  

1.  Hand-painted canvas bag featuring Skippyjon Jones

2.  Color word matching--Match the English word card with the colored
crayon to the Spanish word card with the picture of the same color

3.  Numbers/English/Spanish--Match together the trio with the number,
English number word and Spanish number word (1-10)

4.  Cats Have Nine Lives--Students complete the addition and subtraction
problems on the cats and circle the ones where the sum or difference is
"9".

5.  Get Skippyjon Home--Students roll the dice (included but not pictured),
add the numbers and move that number of spaces along the path.  The
first to reach the bird's nest is the winner.

6.  Mosquito Bandito Rhyming--Students match together the two cards
with rhyming words (from story)

7.  Cat Graph--Students sort out the cats by type and then complete the
bar graph with the information

8.  Make a Word--Students see how many words they can create using
the letters from "SKIPPYJON JONES"

9.  Parent Activity Letter explaining how to use the activities in the bag
