Polar Express

We had a great time this morning in tot school.  We read the book "The Polar Express" and had a pajama day.
I had the sensory table set up with cotton ball and plush snowballs and encouraged the sweetest little snowball fight ever.
We learned a new math game today.  It's called a "Grid Game".  I made a die that had dots for the numbers 1, 2, and 3 (twice each) out of a cube wooden block.  We rolled the die and counted the dots, then we got that many counters and covered the same number of trains on our game board.  When we covered all ten trains we were the winners!  It's a simple game to play at home that makes a big difference in early understanding of quantity.   
 We worked on our super secret holiday gifts after a snack time of hot chocolate and animal crackers. 
Some story time and playing with trains finished up our time together today.  It was a blast!
