Snowmen At Night

This morning we talked about the days of the week and months of the year. We also described the different seasons and focused on the weather, clothing and trees during the winter. The kids also practiced the letter sounds. Before heading outside we talked about shapes and looked for them around the classroom. While outside the kids searched for different shapes on the playground. We found rectangles, triangles, circles and squares!

Our story today was "Snowmen at Night" by Caralyn Buehner. The story described things the snowmen do while we are sleeping. They go sledding, skate, play snowball baseball, drink cold coco, and go to the park. After reading the story the kids listed all the activities the snowmen did at night. Then we made a list of things we do at night...brush our teeth, put on our pajamas, read a bedtime story and go to bed.

For art today the kids made snowmen out of marshmallows. They used their fingers to pinch the marshmallows and put them onto of the glue circles. They also drew two eyes and a carrot nose on the snowman's face.

The kids have loved learning about snowmen this week. Next week we will be our last week talking about winter....then hopefully it will warm up!
