For our stART project, we read How To Build A Snowman. It's a cute, simple book with different textures on each page. It's an excellent book to use for Izzie's "speech therapy" and Mac loved the touchy feel parts.
This week, she also completed several other Snowman activities, including...
Number Sequencing (printable) (1-10)
1:1 Correspondence (printable) with snowflake stickersSimple Patterns (AB and ABB) printable
Snowman Game: Matching Hats
Writing Practice (printable) I decided to turn this into a File Folder activity (laminated), so she can easily wipe off the washable marker and try again. She's doing well with straight lines, the curvy lines are still a little tricky!
Scissor Skills printable
Izzie has been having the hardest time learning how to use scissors and we have been practicing for months with several different types of scissors. Well, I finally found a Melissa and Doug scissor set that she can easily manipulate! She is so excited to be cutting....everything! So, this snowman scissor skill page was a huge hit, even though she is nowhere near cutting the dotted lines, she still had fun "just cutting"! (No idea why I didn't get a picture of her using her new scissors...the blue pair is her favorite.)

ReplyDeleteI love all of the snowman fun you had. I ordered this book from the library and am still waiting. I'm going to print some of these out to use with the book too. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI think you will find that my tot school post this week will look VERY familiar... :) We used all these printables this week too...I LOVE THEM. I am very excited to go get the Melissa and Doug scissors...we have been practicing cutting and it is not going so well...The scissors being the majority of the problem..I have tried a couple of pairs but they are very hard for her to work...so THANK YOU :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like so much fun. We have been enjoying the writing practice printables as well. I think Emily would love this book. Thank you for linking up :0)
ReplyDeleteTextures books are always popular in our house and you have come up with so many great snowman activities to complement this book.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has also struggled with using scissors, we have bought many different types. She is just starting to get the hang of it and now gets less frustrated with cutting. Isn't it wonderful to see them excited as they master a new school.
Thank you for dropping by my blog. It makes my day to see people taking the time to comment.
What a great idea to laminate the writing practice pages & put them in a file folder!! I'm stealing that idea ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun week!
