Activities
In the month of December, we participated in many winter themed activities. Some of these activities include, creating and playing with fake snow, playing with ice at our STEM center, making winter creations at the art center, reading winter themed books, and having holiday dinners at the dramatic play center. We experimented with fake snow in the water table by mixing conditioner and shaving cream with baking soda. We engrossed ourselves in many winter themed stories such as There Was a Cold Lady Who Swallowed Some Snow! by Lucille Colandro, and Snow Sounds by David A. Johnson. A few of our preschool friends also held a puppet show with Miss V. Next month we are looking forward to activities that go along with our January theme, Out of This World!
