Snow and Ice

What a fun week to explore ice and snow. There were so many fun and interesting things we were abe to do! We worked on the letter Ii and the number 7. We continued with the bible study that God is good, we need him, and he is our friend (How awesome is that!!).

At home continue working on counting to 25, 1:1 counting 8 objects, verbally spelling our name and maybe even ordering the letters of our name to make our name.

Thursday:

Adding 8 "snowflakes" to our snowman scene

Great 1:1 counting!

After reading, Sneezy Snowman We talked about what made our snowman melt...and made a fun melted snowman ourselves!

Our sweet construction man!

Let's make some crystals!

 Friday:

Melting ice with warm water and water droppers

They couldn't get enough of this fun and messy sensory activity!

Building our names with snowballs. Our kiddos are at so many different levels and that is OK! Some can order and spell and some need some assistance by me writing their name and then they match the snowball letter to the paper. Only practice and revisiting it will help them continue to grow!  I have done this activity a few times now and have seen so much growth already!

Wishing the happiest of birthdays to this sweet gal! She is full of love and spirit!

Snowman fingers!

Our crystals are growing! We will revisit them again this week.

beading snowflakes. Did you know that most snowflakes have 6 sides!!??
We also learned that no 2 snowflakes are alike...just like us! God made the tiniest of things unique! How beautiful he has made our world.

Such a great fine motor skill! Great job buddy!

What a great week! This week we are going to Space!

A fun week exploring how animals live in the cold and snow.
I apologize for the delay. I am having trouble with my phone getting everything to load to my blog. So not very many pictures to share this week...

shadow matching with snow animals

After reading Polar Bear, Polar Bear What do you hear...we did the same activity ad made a fluffy polar bear too...

Oh that sweet face!

hand painting fun!

We tested the cold water with our hands and then with "blubber" We learned that many creature in the cold have heavy fur or blubber to keep warm

They all agreed that the blubber kept their hands warmer in  the ice than just their hands...

This week is Snow and Ice! Fingers crossed my phone works better this week!

If you give a kiddo a cookie...then they'll want ______ to go with it! What a fun week exploring circular stories (stories that end the same way they begin). This allowed the kiddos to make prediction and really get into the story.

This week we continued the letter Bb and continued number 6. We have been practicing counting to 25, singing our ABC's and working on the following shapes: square, circle, diamond, star, heart, and rectangle...I will be introducing Oval soon. We had fun color matching and naming colors as well.

We have really started working on tracing our names and ordering the letters in our name in the proper order. The kiddos should be starting to spell their name verbally as well. These are all fun things you can do at home!

I hope you are enjoying the Library Bags we sent home! Remember to send them back this week so I can send home a new bag of books!

For our bible study We have learned that: God is Good and is our Friend...and that we NEED him!
