And It's STILL Snowing...

We've been lucky these past few weeks to really experience some great winter weather!  In our class we have been learning all about snow animals, the letter M, N, and O.  We've also been getting pretty good at writing our names :)

First up...penguin water bottles.  After reading Penguins, by Gail Gibbons, we made a chart about what we knew about penguins, then of course had to do an art project.  I had parents bring in empty water bottles (thank you!!!) and we made these precious little guys.
 
Next we worked on writing our name because it starts with letter N...and we needed the practice :)  I made these awesome tracer's that I saw one the kindergarten teachers use.  My kids weren't ready to use them at the beginning of the year, but are now doing GREAT!

Finally we decided it was a polar bear type of day...we got TONS of snow and only half the afternoon class came because we "unofficially" cancelled school.  The kids had a blast making these masks out of paper plates.

Up next...dinosaurs and Valentine's Day!!
