Arctic/Polar Animals! Jan 20-24/25

 Brrr.. What a "chilly" week we had in the classroom.

Our friends loved learning and exploring about Arctic and Polar Animals.

For art and name recognition we used penguins to paint name papers. 

We also used paper plates and paint to ice skate across big paper. This used large motor skills along with working on coordination skills. Staying up right on slick surfaces can be tricky!

Different blocks were added to the block center. The friends weren't too sure about them at first. " Why are they skinny?"     " Are you sure they are blocks?"    " How do  we build with them?" 

After some encouraging and planning out, many different ways were found to use the new blocks. 

In dramatic play we added different Arctic and Polar stuffed Animals.

At the science center we added binoculars to look for the animals throughout the room.

In the touch table we added packing peanuts to represent snow and ice, and different animals to play in. 

The favorite of this week was music class!
