Once school supplies are gathered, pop the orange tops off of all the glue bottles and, with a q-tip, apply Vaseline to the insides of the orange tips. Then replace all the kids. Now you are set for the year... No clogs!
Start with a song! "School Glue" by Joe Scruggs
Meet your glue bottle!
Show a glue bottle and show/discuss parts of the bottle and what each one does.
Glue Rules:
Open
Squeeze with control
Close
Remember!
You are the boss of your glue!
A dot is a lot!
A puddle is a muddle!
Next...
Move to learning tables.
Pass out glue bottles and have children point to the parts: tip, lock, lid, bottle, glue line
Supervise children as they begin making dots on construction paper
*Each day re-teach the glue rules before moving to a variety of glue exploration activities!
