Felt Board & Roll a Tree Centers
As a new center, I've added a felt board with holiday themed felt pieces. It's been a hit so far. I've enjoyed seeing the winter wonderland scenes the kids create. It's a great sensory activity.
Also, we have a new game called Roll a Tree. The kids roll the dice to get pom poms and use them to decorate a tree. It's more of an activity for the younger ones, but I've spotted a few older ones enjoying a round or two.

Make Christmas Cards in Your Classroom
You provide the time and place, and I'll provide the instruction and materials!
Using Robert Sabuda's method of pop-ups, I will teach your class how to make their very own special pop-up holiday card.
For reference, check out the Sabuda books on my desk in the library.

The pipe-cleaner snowflakes suspended in borax-laced water are slowly growing crystals. Make sure your class gets the chance to observe and chart the changes over the next couple of weeks.
