12/7 Classroom Update

This week, we began learning about winter and discussing fun things to do in the wintertime! We read lots of great stories about snow and snowmen, including Snowmen at Night. After reading Snowmen at Night, we practiced retelling the story with a beginning, middle and end. Here is a glimpse of more winter fun from this week in preschool:

We made dalmatian doggies for our letter books!

After reading Sneezy the Snowman, we painted melted snowmen and wrote about how our snowmen melted!

At the playdough center, we built snowmen out of snow playdough!

We added buttons, eyes and other decorations to our snowmen!

We built snowflakes with pattern blocks!

We practiced writing our letters and quizzing our neighbors on etch-a-sketches before working on the letters D and B in our Handwriting Without Tears books!

After reading The Snowy Day, we used special snow paint to paint our own snowy day scenes. 

In the sensory table, we played with polar animals in the "snow"!
