This whole month we will be focusing on Winter!
- We put up our classroom tree up which we plan to decorate with our arts and craft homemade ornaments
- So far we have made Ice Crystals with pipe cleaners and beads to go on the tree
- We have also used toilet paper rolls to create snowmen
- We have made multiple different types of snowflakes from handprints to cutting coffee filters. They even got to use the GLITTER by themselves, WHOA!
- We have played in Arctic water and painted Ice (Ms. Karleen's class even shared their faux snow with us.....which now we have to have our own)
- We have played snowman smash (Bowling)
- As a class family we made sugar cookies together on Friday which we will decorate on Monday
Autumn Kulp; Handprint Snowflake
All the kids love paint so of course this was fun. Creating abstract art and looking to see how our hand could become a snowflake
Rachel Wang; Snowman Smash
Bowling at it's finest! Hand eye coordination with some holiday dazzle
Harper Smith; Coffee Filter Snowflake
Working on scissor safety while practicing cutting as well as using our grip to work the hole puncher
Learning Through Play Is The Best Way!
Autumn Kulp & Avery Nieves; Faux Snow
What1? Mind Blown This was a borrowed sensory bin activity that I now plan on doing in our class. The kids loved it! It is cool to the touch and sparkles like real snow too
Mei Mei Liu; Hanging with the tree
While we don't have a fire place to cozy up to we certainly do have a tree! Putting a small couch and a stack of holiday books next to the tree created a perfect cozy spot to relax and read
Miriam Scott; Ice Painting
Ice is frozen water, it is cold and mega fascinating to kids! So why not paint the ice
Meet Avery Nieves
Avery has just moved up! I warned you that our class size was about to expand, we have lots of little ones growing! This is Avery with her family (Mom, Dad, and Granny) at the Thanksgiving Feast. At this time she was not in our class but what a cute family photo, obviously our food was good ;) Avery is full of energy and likes hands on activities she can be found at the sensory bins on most days!
