Snow and Mitten Fun!

This week was a busy week. Since last week was so short we had a to play catch-up.  Our theme this week was mittens take from the stories The Mitten and The Hat by Jan Brett. We love these books!  We sequenced the events in them, compared the stories, and used the characters in math problems.  At centers we did Mitten Addition by using our cool double dice and an addition/subtraction dice. We also sorted mittens by attributes (color, shape, size). When we were done we colored a tricky picture by the code. It had us practice our number sense.  We also practiced counting by 10’s and ones to make numbers. This center was harder than I thought it would be. In addition, we worked on compound words, number order, and contractions. We were very busy. On Friday we painted snowmen. The kids has so much fun because the paint was textured with sparkles. It was the highlight of the week!  Here are pictures of the snowmen in the hall.  I hope everyone has a great three day weekend.  It is such a busy month!
