Animals in Winter

Today in Little Adventures Preschool we talked about what animals do in winter. We started by talking about winter and what people do to get ready for winter.  We made this fun graph with all the kids faces to identify what types of clothing everyone had.

Then, we talked about what animals migrate and what that means.  We used the do-a-dot painters to paint some butterflies.

 Snack time is an important time to learn new skills.  I was very focused on pouring her water.  Of course there are messes every day, but that's part of growing up!
 Next we learned about animals that hibernate in winter.  I didn't get any good pictures of that.  Lastly, we learned about animals that adapt in winter.  All the animals that we talked about are brown in the summer (to match the dirt) and white in the winter (to match the snow).


 When our book was finished we used crayons to find the word 'the'.  Here A astounded me by finding the word 'the' in together!
 Some of us are still working on recognizing the word the, and the twins have an excuse since they started after the 'the' lesson :)

We didn't get to the printables that I started creating (grid and short path math games).  If you'd like to download them click this link here: Animals in Winter Math Games

  1. That's pretty impressive, finding the word "the" inside of a bigger word!

    I love your winter clothing graph! Just teaching two children at home right now, I'm limited from doing some of the things that work so well in a classroom setting.

    Looks like you've got yourself quite a crew at your house! :)
