Someone made a polar bear one and I loved it so much,

I made recording sheets to go along with the ones above.

I am so sorry, I wanted to link your work here, but I can't recall where it was :(

Paper from Winter Activities from Pocket of Preschool

Ice Cube patterns

Fine motor snowflake beads-

you could add a dice and have them add that many beads 

to the pipe cleaner.

First Week of School Morning Work

 The first week of school is always so much work, you are teaching so many procedures and rules. So I start with things that they typically have used before or that don't need much explanation.

Check your classroom for toys that will work. I have used snap cubes, pattern blocks, chain links, Unifix cubes, and teddy bears, this is all super low prep, find and put inside a drawer.

In week two, I add something to the drawer. Check back next week for our week two centers.
