Theme: Snowflakes & Snow-Cones
Choosing Time: Trains, Dinosaurs, Ponies, Puzzles
Snack: We practiced hand washing techniques to be clean & ready to help prepare our snack today. I have been missing some snow so decided to bring some inside with snow-cones. We had fun watching the ice turn into "snow" and then choosing our flavors to create unique creations. We also enjoyed some chocolate chip cookies to celebrate Nathan's birthday. It wasn't a healthy snack, but it was yummy! (And the snow-cone syrups were sugar-free!)
Art: Paper Snowflakes & Mittens
I was able to help each child individually. This was a great project to practice using scissors.
We finished our paper mittens today. We had a good time practicing sewing. I was impressed that when someone made a "mistake" he/she self-corrected the "problem." :)
Lesson: After our snowflakes were finished we hung them up on our bulletin board. I asked the children to look at how beautiful & unique each of their snowflakes are. I explained that every real snowflake is unique, different, & beautiful too. It takes millions of snowflakes to make a snowball. No snowflake is better than another. Each person is extremely valuable too. We each have special gifts and talents that make us unique & beautiful just like snowflakes. Each of us is loved & needed & special.
Music: If all the Snowflakes were Hamburgers & Milkshakes...
Movement: See Me Run, I Am a Miracle, Count to 5
