Our theme for last week was snow people. We had a lot of fun with this. Especially since I have so many snowmen laying around the house.
We started the week of by having a snowman pancake breakfast. I think that Tommy and I enjoyed it more. Tommy was off from work on Monday so we didn't have "class."
Tuesday came and the kids were excited to start our activities. We started by playing snowmen bowling. I taped snowmen onto the bowling pins and the kids had a great time knocking them down. The kids worked up an appetite and wanted a snack so we stole from one of our last weeks snacks by covering rice cakes with cream cheese and using raisins for the eyes and mouth and for the nose we used a goldfish. The kids thought it was tasty. I had cut everything out for the kids to put together a snowman. They glued the circles together and then glued the rest of the body parts on.
On Wednesday we learned some songs and dances. We then read the book "Snowy Day" after reading the book the kids were given Jack and some blue paper and told to glue Jack on the paper and decorate the paper with things that Jack did while playing outside. I was really amazed by how much they could recall while doing this picture.
Thursday came so fast we made snomen necklaces and played in snow (made from shaving cream and glue). This was messy but the kids loved the activity. We finished the day by singing and dancing to the dances we learned the day before.
We ended our week early, because Friday Gram and Pops were coming to visit.
The kids were excited to show them everything we had done and their "classroom".
The liked the bowling so much that they wanted to play it again. The kids really seem to enjoy the theme weeks. It's something they look forward to everyday.
