Week 4: Winter

This week we finished our activities related to winter.  It was a wonderful day, and we were so happy every time we could go outside.  It was brisk today, but we were able to play for quite a bit outside right after lunch.  At the end of the month, I'm always ready to move on to the next theme.  We're doing "Hearts and Shapes" for February.

Week 3: Winter

We did our "Snow Man" play dough station one more time for the month.

We played our snowman games this week too.  This kids really enjoyed a chance to get outside.  We had such a peaceful and pleasant day.

Week 2: Winter

Duplo learning center

The learning centers were a big hit this week.  I loved the snowman craft and the hot chocolate making, but I really enjoyed seeing the children's creativity with the toys.  I have a great duplo lego set with cars, a gas station, and they were making it come alive with tow trucks and the ambulance.  Also, the kitchen and tea set got great use.  They were great at setting up the table.  In February, we're going to have a day "Playing Restaurant" with menus and notebooks.  I look forward to it.

Week 1: Winter

This week we played with cloud "snow" dough and made snowman out of play dough.  It was a brisk morning, so we only spent a few minutes outside, and most of the time was inside.  We will be doing wintry activities for the next month.
