Winter Fun and Pete the Cat

We've been really lucky here with a pretty mild winter, but this week was pretty cold and we had several small snow events.  We're continuing our unit on clothes and having fun with Pete the Cat. During free play, these cuties set up the stuffed animals on the rug where we read together and read Pete the Cat books to them!  I LOVE seeing them choosing to read books and retelling the story to others! 

We made this activity last year, but this was the first time that we've done it this year.  There are pictures of colored popsicle sticks and the kids have to find the right colored sticks and match them to the picture.  There are varying difficulty levels and they all impressed me with how well they did!  The idea is from The Connection We Share.


We also worked on body parts with Pete.  The kids glued the labels on for Pete's body parts.  This was a free printable, but I can't remember where we found it!


This handsome fella celebrated his birthday this week! 

Thursday we had a bit of a surprise snow storm!  After lunch it started snowing pretty hard and kept snowing all afternoon!  After snack we bundled up and went out into the snow for a few minutes.  It was so much fun for all of us!


It's hard to tell, but they're jumping here!  

Thanks for stopping by!
