Winter Fun

In our little tot school we have been talking about "winter-ish" things. :o) Last week we did Pp is for penguins and polar bears! This week will be Ss is for snowflakes, snowballs, snowmen, etc. Although our weather here is BEAUTIFUL it almost feels like spring (Ss is for spring?!?!). Anywho, we are having fun. 

Both girls love doing handprint/footprint projects. So here is a footprint penguin.
We are really trying to get those letter sounds memorized now. She knows her letters pretty well so now its the sounds we are working on. 

I found an alphabet banner at the Dollar Tree and hung up in our playroom.
Hopefully we can hang up our little alphabet projects under each letter. 

Circling the letters Pp in the collage. Then we talked about all the things that begin with the /p/ sound.

I made a little penguin shape book in my little TpT store. Here the girls are painting a circle penguin. 

Working on the heart penguin...

Here is the heart and square when they are finished.
I tried to flip the photo but it's not happening for some reason.

We started a "salt tray" this week to practice more fine motor skills.
She loved it. Here is her circle.

And her P! 

We pulled out little toys/magnets/objects that began with the letter P and made the /p/ sound (a lot).
We made a little Pp book and chose two objects to add to the book. Marin chose pig and pizza. 

And now for a polar bear craft!! We read a book about playful polar bears and then made a mask out of a paper plate and cotton balls. 

A little Ss week.....

This is our snowman game. We wind up the penguin and let him walk on the snowman numbers. Whichever number the penguin lands on, she counts counts out snowflakes in the ten frame.

Then she counted "snowballs" (marshmallows) on a dice.

This has nothing to do with Pp or Ss or Winter but Hollis made circles on the Magna Doodle. :o)
