January Activities Week One

1/12/2014

How in the world is it already the first weekend of January, well posting weekly activities... This month's theme is winter and snow. Even though I'm sick of this weather, I can't wait to do the rest of the January crafts with my littles! 


Wednesday was our first day back to school after some snow days from the cold-pocalyps. We worked on a snowman name graph which not only was cute but also educational as we counted letters in our names and placed them from names with the most letters to the least. I mentioned earlier that I really want to start making the after care activities slightly more educational and not just a day care. This craft also worked on their handwriting - which is improving greatly from August!  



Thursday was another chilly day so we made little hot chocolate mugs and had some during snack time! That may have been a mistake as they were crazy for the rest of the afternoon... lesson learned? I think so! 



I completely forgot to get some pictures of Friday's craft, but I'll put in the inspiration that I found on Pinterest : ) By the way, can we just take a moment and take in how glorious Pinterest is?! Like, what did you do before it became so popular?! I get so many great ideas not only for my classroom, but life in general. Thank you Pinterest, thank you. 



I found a fabulous website (thanks to Pinterest), which has preschool books and activities for each month of the year, it has been such a great resource! Check it out here


I hope y'all had a great first week back to school!
