Transition Song: Must Be Santa by Raffi. (Note, we only sing the first three verses and we sing it without the music. The music is too fast.
We also put together a Santa to show the different parts of the song
This week we talked about the snow that fell last week. Some of us made snow people. Miss Carrie brought a book about snow people titled Snowballs by Lois Ehlert.
There were so many things to see and talk about! The snow people had corn and berries and buttons and strings and nuts and raisins and popcorn and scarves. Squirrels and birds were eating the nuts and seeds.
Miss Carrie had an idea. She wanted to make snow people, but we couldn't bring snow into the classrooms. She brought a big bag full of things to make snow people. We decided that we could turn the teachers into snow people. We talked about what items we found in the bag and where to put them on the teachers.
DO THIS AT HOME: Don't wait for snow! Talk about snow people and what you would put on them. Go through the house on a hunt of items to put in a big bag. Then turn your family members into snow people. Talk about clothing items and body parts. Talk about hot and cold. Consider making a hot or cold treat to enjoy afterwards. When it snows again, who wants to make a snow dad/mom/brother/sister/family?
