We have been back in school for 2 weeks and we are all finally getting into the swing of things (including me)!
We have been having fun with all things winter and exploring snow, ice, and a variety of other things. This week we will focus more on the Polar Animals.
Here is a look back at our week!

Small group activities
We enjoyed some 'snow writing' as we practiced writing our letters in shaving creme! We usually do this right on the table but a parent donated these nice plastic blue trays, so this time we tried it in the tray. It worked out nicely!
Building and creating is ALWAYS happening in our classroom and the children LOVE these new Playstix I was able to pick up at NAEYC. Ever since I brought them back they have been a HUGE hit!
Morning Work
Morning Work is something new we have been incorporating. I have several children that arrive before 8:00 so I have been planning intentional learning activities to keep them busy until all of our friends have arrived! We have enjoyed using these ABC Touch & Flip Cards from the Get Set For School Curriculum. On one side you put the alphabet cards in order and then when you flip it over it has a tactile letter that the child can use their finger to trace. Lots of great practice in one set of cards!
More Small Group Activities
During small group time we have enjoyed learning about our letters and numbers more and more each day. These pictures show you matching the letters and a friend working on cutting out the pieces to his Number 2 Necklace. We have also enjoyed using our All About... File Folder Series Games to learn more about the letters and numbers!
We have also enjoyed using these number and letter Clip Wheels from Tami at Teaching Preschoolers.
