A Little bit of This, A little bit of That...

Since we were out an entire week for SNOW, I had a lot of catching up to do...and I had to let go of some things I normally do because of time.  (the OCD inside me hated this)  Anyway, we finished some snowman and winter things as well as started our "Animals in Winter" fact book to teach hibernation, migration, and adjustment.




adding snowballs to winter clothing

measuring snowmen

counting pattern block in snowflakes

making towers on our snowmen

using our new wand on our promethean board for winter activities


making our hibernation fact book page


we hibernated then woke up when we heard rhyming words


we created a map of things that remind us of winter...
then added to it as the week continued


rhyming snowmen with stamps

finishing our painted snowmen so we could measure them

  1. I love this! We had our hibernation unit in November! We always do a Pajama Hibernation Party. We lay on the carpet or our cots to do calendar. The kids have a blast. Lots of fun activities.

  7. I love, love, love, your ideas ! If you don't mind me asking, what is the writing component that goes with snowman soup? Also, the book with the different "winter" pages, was winter the theme and each page related?

  8. They wrote things like, 1 carrot nose, 2 mittens, 3 buttons, and so forth. I had a sample for them to copy. The book was a fact book about winter...It's titled In Winter... and we made 4 pages. I posted pics of the other two pages in my "Mitten Activities" post today. Thanks for your comment!

  10. I don't know if you are still mailing out units now that you have a TpT store (which I LOVE) but would it be possible to get the Rhyming Snowmen sheet? I am trying to plan for the week after Christmas Break and it would be perfect!
