Today was day number 6 of the 12 days of winter - "On the sixth day of winter, my teacher gave to me: 6 socks for stuffing, etc...). We made sock snowpeople, using bird seed to fill the bottom, and fiber fill to make the two upper parts. It was great fun - and the kids got to take home the snowpeople today.

After our craft, we had a short version of Afternoon Meeting, read a winter book (Dear Polar Bear), and then we headed up to the computer lab for our half hour there.

Back down in our class, we had a short reading lesson, in which we talked about word families again, and then we had a bit of an extended Choice Time, since we didn't have any yesterday. The kids were excited to play in the Puppet Theater and to make paper bag puppets at the art center.

After all that, it was time for us to pack up and go home!
