Christmas Week 2

Tuesday's Schedule -

Book -
Sadie and the Snowman

Math - Number Christmas Tree
I printed a picture of a Christmas tree that had ornaments on it.  On the ornaments I wrote numbers.  The kids rolled the dice and added the dots together.  Then had to find the number on the tree and color it in with daubers.

Phonics - Snowman Name
I wrote the letter of their names on different circle snowman body.  I laid them out on the floor and they had to find all the letters in their name.  Then take them to the table and put them in the correct order.  We finished by putting the snowman's head and hat on.  I also had them try and write their name next to the letters I wrote.

Art - Melted Snowman
The kids started with white paint and colored their paper.  We added, eyes, hat, carrot, and arms.  It looked like a melted snowman.  Super cute and easy.

Movement - Snowball Toss and Fight
We used cotton balls and tried to toss them into cups.  We then ended by throwing cotton balls in the air and at each other pretending it was snow.

Phonics - Christmas Light Letters
I printed pictures of black and white christmas lights.  I wrote lower case letters in each bulb.  Then laid uppercase magnet letters on the floor in the living room.  One kid at a time would run and grab a uppercase letter then we all found the lower case and colored it in.  We did this until all our lights were colored in.

Art - Candy Cane Ornament
Red and white beads on pipe cleaners.  Getting the pattern of red and white was hard for the little ones, but still a fun craft.

Movement - What's in the Stocking
I showed the kids 6 different objects before putting one in the stocking.  I hid them under a blanket but choose one to put in the stocking.  They took turns reaching into the stocking (without looking) and use their touch to figure out what object it was.  They really enjoyed it and were quite good at it.
