STEAM Themed Thursday: Masking Tape

 

STEAM Themed Thursday--Fun with Ice

Snow Storytime

We had a huge snow storm last Wednesday...yet by today the snow had all melted.  Oh, well!

Books

Froggy Gets Dressed

by Jonathan London; illustrated by Frank Remkiewicz

Just One Flake

by Travis Jonker

Not Now, Cow

I've used this one before, but it fell kinda flat today...

Music and Movement

Snowy Day

The day is snowy and the wind is bold.

Dress up wormly, you mustn't get cold!

Put on your coat and zip it up tight,

Put on your left boot, put on your right.

Put on your scarf and put on your hat,

Put on your mittens and clap-clap-calp!

Go outside and play, play, play.

{make a snowball and throw it, make a snowman...}

Come in again, and then we'll say--

Take off your coat that was zipped up tight,

Take off your left boot, take off your right.

Take off your scarf, take off your hat,

Take off your mittens, and then take a nap!

Jingle Bells

Verse--bells slow and quiet

Chorus--bells fast and loud

Flannel Board

One Little Snowflake

One little snowflake with nothing to do

Along came another and then there were two.

Two little snowflakes flying past me

Along came another and then there were three.

Three little snowflakes looking for some more

Along came another and then there were four.

Four little snowflakes dancing a jive

Along came another and then there were five.

Five little snowflakes having so much fun

Out came the sun and then there were none!

Open Ended Art
