Welcome back and best wishes for a happy, healthy 2025!

We have many fun learning experiences planned for our exploration of winter. Circle time activities will include reading books about snow, winter, and arctic animals. We will experiment painting with ice cubes and watercolors, explore the arctic animals and rice in the sensory table, cut out hats and mittens to decorate and make pinecone bird feeders.

Music time will find us moving like snowflakes, dancing the freeze dance, and singing winter songs.

The letter of the week activities are M is for mitten, N is for numbers.
