MAKE-UP ZERO THE HERO DAY!~
Yesterday was suppose to be our 80th day of school! Since it was a "snow day" yesterday, Mitch and his mom helped us celebrate today! The children each made their own snowman/snowwoman/snowperson. Thank you for this fun activity!
We read the story Snowballs today by Lois Ehlert. In the story, children save a variety of materials to use when the first snow falls and they can build snowmen.
As a follow-up activity to the story, each
Pre-K child will create his/her own snowperson (or snowanimal) using
items and materials that have been recycled and saved by the teachers.
DRAMA~
One activity the children did in Drama today was to act out different winter/snow activities while the other children in the class tried to guess what was being acted out.
We introduced many new activities today for use during Free Choice time.
At the Discovery Station, children can build a snowflake using a picture.
At Math Magic, children can create patterns with tiny snowflakes, snowmen and peppermints.
Also at Match Magic, the children can count the number of items in the counting basket. Amara, Scarlett and Anna discovered there were 100 items!
Also at Match Magic, children can do the "Add and Cover" activity. After rolling the dice, the child counts or adds together the number of dots on each die. He/She then colors in the corresponding number on his/her paper.
EXTENDED DAY PRE-K~
We made snow playdough today! We measured and mixed the ingredients (including something to make it smell good) and then the teachers cooked the playdough on the stove. When the playdough cooled, the children added silver and white glitter and "kneaded it" into the playdough.
Playing with our snow playdough!
