Snow + Shapes = Octagon Snowmen
It is cold and snowy, so we are writing, reading and crafting about it. We are also studying shapes. Combine the two together and you get octagon snowmen. We read All You Need For A Snowman and let our creative ideas start flowing.
Stranger in the Woods
We read the book Stranger in the Woods by Carl R. Sams and Jean Stoick and made our own stranger in the woods. Look at the pictures below and see if your child can find their stranger in the woods. The blue boarder is the morning class and the red boarder is the afternoon class. You can click on the picture to make it bigger as you search for your stranger.
The After Christmas Tree
Maybe I had too much rest over the break, or I was dwelling too much on being sad that the holidays were over...whatever the reason, it led me to do this...
Deciding to make pinecone, peanut butter, birdseed ornaments for an after Christmas tree with 35 five and six year olds. I have always loved the book
Feeling a little sad that the holidays are over, the family invites friends to an after Christmas party. They decide to take the decorations off their Christmas tree, drag it outside and make birdseed ornaments to hang on it to feed the birds and animals. Enjoy the pictures of us making our birdseed ornaments while you think about our classroom, the children and myself covered with birdseed and peanut butter.
We are keeping an eye on our After Christmas Tree to see if it is getting any visitors while we read about what animals like to use evergreen trees for their home or food source. Our tree is the middle evergreen tree at the end of the parking lot if you would like to check it out yourself.
