In part two of our snowman building, our snowmen received a blast of arctic snow, along with a face, scarf and buttons! It was time to get ooey and gooey again with shaving cream and glue as we applied snow to our dry paper mache. Everyone dug in as we put our finishing touches on our snowmen masterpieces!
As we continue our theme about the arctic and arctic animals we read “Hello Arctic”. The children discovered alot of the different animals and all of the snow! We were so inspired we de
cided to make our own snow with shaving cream and glue!
Beluga Whales live in frigid Arctic waters, but today, they came to life in our classroom! While working on the letter W, the children used their fingerprints to create an ocean scene. When the children were finished, we worked on building the letter W using our “big lines” and magnet boards. While working on the /w/ sound, we also discovered the letters V and X.
We read Snowballs today by Lois Ehlert then tried our hand at making our own snowball soap creations that won’t melt, but will slowly disappear after we use them to keep our hands clean!
Even though our snow has melted, that doesn’t keep us from building our own snowman! Today, we made paper mache snowmen. Mixing equal parts water and flour, the children got ooey gooey by slathering our balloon snowmen with pasty newspaper. This two-part project has a ways to go. Next Thursday, we will get to decorate the snowmen by getting ooey gooey again when making them white (shaving cream anyone?!), and topping them off with their proper decorations. We can’t wait to to see the finished product!
New centers means new ways to learn our letters, letter sounds, practice our numbers, one-to-one correspondence, patterning and shapes. Today, the children learned how to play the new games and activities that are in our centers. They were all eager to try something new!
