Characteristics of Outstanding teacher

February Story Time

This week we read "Red Sled" by Lita Judge.  The children painted craft stick sleds red.  (I had assembled them first.)  Loving free play after stories and crafts!

January Story Times

In January we made puffy paint with shaving cream and glue (painted snow men on blue paper with buttons for eyes and buttons.)
We read "Snowmen at Night"

 Mittens with colored pom pom balls. (Jan Brett "The Mitten" and Kellogg's "Missing Mitten Mystery")


We played in fake snow with white conditioner and baking soda.


We also made trees with bubble wrap snow.  (Make the tree with crayons- black- they paint the bubble wrap white and press onto blue paper).

 We read "A Hat for Minerva Louise", "Super Truck", Seasons nonfiction "Winter", "It's Snowing" by Olivier Dunrea.
