Our theme this week is WINTER and will focus on the season of winter. Our letter of the week is Ii for ice. We will be doing two cooking lessons this week, but both are very simple. On Tuesday we will make ice cream sundaes for our letter Ii...brrr just like winter! We will warm up with some hot cocoa on Wednesday. Our stories this week will include A Little Bit of Winter, The Biggest Snowman, and two Jan Brett stories called The Hat and The Mitten. The kids loved retelling The Mitten as they each had a mask to pretend to be one of the animals squeezing into the mitten.

For our craft, we colored and decorated a pair of mittens to go along with our story. The children will also be painting snowy day this week. Our songs this week include Snowy Pokey and Chubby Little Snowman.
Chubby Snowman
I had a chubby snowman, he had a carrot nose.
Along came a bunny, And what do you suppose?
That hungry little bunny, looking for his lunch,
Ate that snowman's nose. . . NIBBLE, NIBBLE, CRUNCH!!
Snowy Pokey
You put your right mitten in, You take your right mitten out,
You put your right mitten in and you shake it all about.
You do the Snowey pokey and you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about.
Continue with additional verses:
You put your left mitten in
You put your scarf in
You put your right boot in
You put your left boot in
You put your hat in
You put your snowself in
