Usually it is the first letter in each line, but it doesn't have to be. But, that is another lesson-Īn acrostic poem is a poem where certain letters in each line of the poem spell a word. Just because a couple of girls didn't like Chrysanthemum's name doesn't mean that her name wasn't still absolutely perfect for her. NOTE: While trying to teach our kids to be kind, it's also important to teach kids that what others say can only affect us or hurt us if we let it. The activities that follow celebrate the uniqueness of each of us and our name, encourage kindness and the use of kind words. "Chrysanthemum" is a great way to teach your preschoolers about kindness and using kind words. The girls at school teased Chrysanthemum about her really long, flowery name until Chrysanthemum believed her name was absolutely dreadful. Chrysanthemum is a young mouse who believes her name is absolutely perfect, that is until she went off to school for the first day. I'm sure you're probably already familiar with this classic by Kevin Henkes, so if you do a "Chrysanthemum" theme, then these mindfulness activities will fit in perfectly.Īnd, if you aren't familiar with the book, then I would suggest getting a copy and adding it to your preschool library. I was inspired by Fall and all of the potted mums to create some mindfulness activities for your "Chrysanthemum" theme.
