I have a lot of posting to do but we haven't had a spare moment it seems for me to sit down and post.
so, here is our snapshot from several weeks ago. yikes!
in social studies, we discussed winter clothing. for example, what clothes do we wear in winter? why? we recalled hibernating animals use fat to stay warm while they hibernate or are in torpor and discovered we use clothing for the same purpose. we also discussed how past and present clothing differ and looked at pictures. the boys really got a kick out of young boys wearing dresses. and the girls got a kick out of the young girls wearing ONLY dresses and not shorts and pants. we learned a lot by observing pictures from the past. we also discovered how people make clothes, how people in the past made clothes vs how we make clothes now. we discussed where we get our clothes now and how we would have gotten our clothes in the past. SS.K.2 SS.K.8 S.K.9

in math, the students identified and described shapes and compared and contrasted shapes using attribute blocks (squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, hexagons, cubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres)K.G.2 K.G.A.1 K.G.A.2 K.G.B.4...
the students discussed the attributes of shapes and recognized objects in their environment and drew what they observed. we call it a shape hunt! K.G.A.1 K.G.A.2 K.G.B.4

in dramatic play, the students were post masters and mailed valentines to one another
Curious George's Museum of Tens on pbskids.org
I also added red and white paint to the art center and heart cookie cutters and red play-dough in the discovery center.
the students had fun in the library with Ms. Ross and Miss Callie learning about winter clothing and snow!
their overcoat puzzle
snowball downhill race
snowball fight
the students also played a fun game but I do not know the name of it. they took turns turning over one card. if it had a bear on it, they were out. if it had a snowman on it, they were frozen. if it had winter clothing on it, they could unfreeze one of their friends. we played several times it was so fun!
