January...

We kicked off the new year with a lot of fun!!!

We learned about winter and had a fun snow day complete with sleighing, hot chocolate,
painting the snow, and building snowmen.

We talked about Arctic Animals and made some fun craft projects including an
igloo for the letter I, penguins, and polar bears.
We even got to practice our counting skills by feeding the
 penguins fish and the sensory table.

The kids had a GREAT time during our cooking week.
We learned about the food groups and had fun cooking our snacks for snack time.

We finished up January learning about our 5 senses.
I think the sense of taste was the favorite out of the five.


Here's a sneak peak of the fun we had in January.
