Monday Fun meets stART...

Our Homeschool Enrichment classes
started up this past Monday
(the reason why the classes are called
Monday Fun),
and I am teaching a couple of the classes.

One of the classes is paying homage to a
favorite activity around here-
stART!

This past week I read...

...and...

...to my preschoolers.

**************************************************

Since the theme of the day was winter, I let the kiddos
paint......snowflakes I had pre-taped
for them.

(Thank you, Valerie, for the fabulous inspiration
over on Frugal Family Fun!)

*************************************************

I also created some explorer boxes
for them to play with after they
finished their paintings...

Each plastic shoe box contained the following:

Glittery foam snowmen
Glittery foam snowflakes
Poly-fill
Cotton balls
Different sizes and shapes of buttons

I also included some...

...snowballs...

...which I fashioned out of Squinkie balls and cotton.

They also used wooden boxes, bowls, tongs, and spoons
to manipulate the items in the boxes.

*************************************************

The kiddos seemed to have a good time...

...patterning, sorting...

...and creating!

(This is Little Wild Man's version of
Snow Soup.)

I am looking forward to teaching these
LOVELY children again...

Up next- Groundhogs!
