More Winter Fun

Our sensory tub was a hit today. The carpet looked like it really did snow.

Using tongs to transfer snowflakes.

Playing with the arctic animals set.

The kids usually love to help clean.

I added snowmen to the block center .

Matching snowflakes game.

In circle time we danced like snowflakes and learned new songs. One of them was good bye in different languages. We also clapped the syllables in words like snowman, gloves, hat, and igloo. We made a graph of who had played in the snow before and read a book called " The Smallest Snowman. " I love productive days.

Winter Wonderland

What a fun day! We are back in school. Only 8 children showed up today. We have enjoyed playing. We also went for a walk in the snow. We were actually on a icicle hunt and boy did we find some!

We also made snow cream today. If you want to know how- look here. My mom used to make this every time it would snow. I lived in south arkansas growing up so snow didnt come often. When it did, snow cream was a tradition !

We read the book "Snowy Day". If I had been on my toes today we would have read it before we went out and point our toes " this way" and " that way" like in the book.

We did have a little surprise while we were walking ! Rosanna's dad came by to say hello. Then, he returned with ROSANNA! We were excited to see her !







Some of the new activities out today were:

White beads for spooning and counting.

Snow flakes for sorting !

and the ICE BREAKERS game. Ok, I am ready to admit, I hate that game. It does nothing to promote independence and then you help them put it together and it takes about 5 seconds flat for them to knock all the ice cubes out. This game gets the vote for my LEAST FAVORITE game of all time! But.... since we started a winter unit I had to bring it out... right?
