Update – January 2nd – 5th, January 8th – 12th, and January 15th – 19th 2024
Theme: Winter and Arctic Animals

Welcome back and best wishes for a happy, healthy 2024!

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 conduct an experiment to create salt crystal snowflakes, 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 name and O is for octagon.
