We Dig Dinosaurs!

There are dinosaurs everywhere in our classroom except the bulletin board!  Our MWF preK kiddos can trace, color and cut dinosaurs to create a Jurassic world for our classroom. Thanks, Mrs. U.  She rocks!

Counting to 100

Our MWF classes have been practicing counting to one hundred.  We have also introduced counting by tens so that this concept will be familiar to them when they enter kindergarten.  The kids love it!  Wednesday is 100 Wednesday and students have the opportunity to work in small groups with a teacher counting to one hundred using stickers. We have been doing this all year.   

Now we have a center activity that the children can do independently.  Craft sticks, marker caps, playing cards and more will be available for counting.  Children will take their one hundred things home and will be able to count again!

Walking with Dinosaurs

Our preK students will learn about dinosaurs this month.  All MCP students will have fun 'digging' for fossils in our dramatic play center.

Dinosaurs are BIG so big numbers are on dinosaur die cuts for our preK students.  Count, check and press 'the easy button.'

The Polar Express

We have new sensory tub in our classroom. Polar animals!  Animals from the North Pole and South Pole in one fun filled place!

Easy breezy to do at home! 4-5 bags of white crinkle paper (used in gift bags) and 2-3 bags of cotton balls. Small clear plastic tubs create floating ice for penguins and polar animals to rest.

Snow Balls

Simple activities keep our preschoolers happy and active during winter months.  Empty popcorn tins make a fun tossing game.  Have children stand a few feet away and toss bath scrubbers into the can.  Easy breezy fun!

All you need at home are some bath scrubbers which are available at your local dollar store. Toss into a pan, a bucket, a basket or large bowl.  Have some fun this winter with your child!

Let's Build a Snowman
