Winter - Week 3

Monday's Schedule

Book - Sadie and the Snowman

Movement - Puppet Show
I printed out pictures and glued them to popsicle sticks (ok that was my plan but did not get popsicle sticks so used butter knives:/).  The kids took turns with each puppet.  This went really really well and we all really enjoyed acting out Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

Numbers - Cake Walk
I put pictures of snowflakes on the ground in a circle.  On the snowflakes were numbers.  So they would dance around on the snowflakes until the music stopped and they landed on a number.  They had to tell me what number they stopped on.  We do this game a lot and they sure love it.  So simple and yet so good to work on letters, numbers, shapes, etc...

Arts/Crafts - Cookie Cutter Painting
I got out my Christmas cookie cutters and paint.  They dipped the cookie cutters in paint and then onto paper.  Always turns out cute!

Game - Matching
We got a matching game out.  This one was good for them but long.  They had fun but struggled to finish the game.  It is great for teaching them to pay attention even if it is not their turn and taking turns.  We did finish but it took some prompting to sit still:)

Wednesday we were all sick and school was canceled and winter break was coming up!
