Winter Centers

Winter Centers

sn*w and ice magnatiles- not a big hit at all this year, no one used them!

I swapped it out with something in week two.

I think they were from Target.

Play-Doh with cookie cutters and mats.

Here are some play-dough mats $ for them to use:

More HERE $ 

Wooden houses and a truck from Target.

stuffies- mostly from Dollar Tree

We are using these as reading buddies :)

Cubes for a light table.

The box is from Dollar Tree and they are sn*wflakes.

plain white felt sn*wmen at the bottom

decorated sn*wmen 

sn*wmen ornaments from Target.

Paper punches, white crayons, and colored pencils- 

not a big hit either, swapped it out week 2.

Ten frames with sn*wflakes from a past KinderCrate.

I added felt numbers to match.

sn*wmen have magnets on the back for our magnet center.

Number guide from Tara West.

These were our snowmen math magnet game.$

In the white bin

I drew the faces on the cups.

The snowballs were from Target, I think.

The cups just sit in a bin, and the kids toss yarn  pom-poms

into them and call out the number they sank the pom-pom.

Besides our fine motor table, I added these trays.

These are super small trays.

I have a bag for each number.

Yellow tray- random cards- I have zero idea where they came from.

Blue tray- Number Blocks cards from a set. 

Number cards from some people I bought this summer.

(Blog post upcoming)

Red Tray~ textured cards from Target and sandpaper cards from FB Marketplace.

Pink Tray~ From Hands2Mind

January Morning Bins Week 4 and More

 Here are our mornings for this week:

Scissor Skills

These I made.

Snowflake beads

Snowman Poms

For our dental health centers

Cavity Count from here

Roll a number cube and put that many dots on the teeth.

Brush them off again while rolling the number cube.

This time I will use those tooth savers but 

you could use white Unifix cubes

Smashing Cavities (like Smashing Pumpkins lol) 

I am going to have the kids roll dough

and place it on top.

When it's filled, they can smash them down.

Pom pom sort on toothbrushes from here.

Trace and erase from here.

Write and brush

pick a tooth and write the number or letter on the 

tooth and erase it with the toothbrush. 

Winter Centers and More!

 

We read the book The Jacket I Wore.

We came up with different things we can wear in the sn*w.

Here I have some winter punches, white colored pencils and crayons 

for the children to make winter scenes.

There is blue paper for the background.

There is white paper for the sn*w.

Here is my example:

The green box is our glue sponge.

Here is our play dough bin.

I know some people use a tray but I use trays for my 

themed stews.

I put the letters to spell sn*w.

Here are some play dough mats $ for them to use:

More HERE $ 

Here is our snowman stew $

in the video, it shows how I store them,

but this is how to display it.

The bowls are from Dollar Tree,

they have snowflakes around them.

Here are the winter magnatiles.

I think they were from Target.

These were our snowmen math magnet game.$

Feed the Snowman $

I drew the faces on the cups.

The snowballs were from Target I think.

The cups just sit in a bin and the kids toss yarn  pom-poms

into them and call out the number they sank the pom-pom.

I would suggest keeping the cups in a bin

so the cups don't tip over.

Snowball ten frames

I just used white cotton balls.

There are tons of activities in THIS unit. $

There was a snowman tic-tac-toe gameboard at Dollar Tree.

But I just had my children match on the card.

There are two versions of this game.

Found here.$

Sn*wmen at Night and more

 We made coffee filter sn*wflakes!

After reading Sn*wmen at Night,

we made our own in our journals.

Our transition to wash our hands for snack was to 

list something that we would want to do with our sn*w person.

After reading the book,

The Jacket I wore in the Sn*w

We named some of the items in the story

and then drew them in our journals

One day we read The Biggest Sn*wball of All

then we made sn*wballs in our journals.
