| Ten Little Snowmen 1 Little, 2 Little, 3 Little Snowmen 4 Little, 5 Little 6 Little Snowmen 7 Little, 8 Little 9 Little Snowmen 10 Little Snowmen... BRRRRR They're Cold! I copy this poem to chart paper and glue 10 snowman shapes to the chart. It becomes part of our morning opening each day for the month of January. The line leader for the day gets to use the pointer to read the song to the class and then we do it together a second time. I also use it to quickly assess each child's ability to recognize numbers by asking the leader each day to point out random numbers. If a child gets "stuck" we just back up and sing the song together until the child figures out the number. This song can be continued with numbers 11-20. 11 Little, 12 Little 13 Little Snowmen 14 Little, 15 Little 16 Little Snowmen 17 Little, 18 Little 19 Little Snowmen 20 Little Snowmen....BRRRR! They're Freezing! |

| Snowflakes Finger Play Merry little snowflakes falling through the air (Fingers raised high and moving fast) Resting on the steeple the tall trees everywhere; (Make steeple with two pointer fingers and then raise arm for branches) Covering roofs and fences, capping every post; (Two hands forming roof then hands clasped.) Covering the hillside where we like to coast (Make scooping motion of coasting) Merry little snowflakes do their very best (Fingers raised high and moving fast.) To make a soft, white blanket so buds and flowers may rest: (Palms together at side of face.) But when the bright spring sunshine says it's come to stay, (Make circle with arms for sun.) Then those little snowflakes quickly run away! (Hide hands behind back.) Snowflakes from Filters For each flake do the following: Flatten a coffee filter Fold the filter in half Fold the half into thirds Using scissors, snip the the sides,top and bottom of the folded filter Dip parts of the folded filter into blue food coloring. Squeeze softly to remove excess water Unfold and allow to dry For shimmering flakes, brush with diluted glue and sprinkle on a bit of clear glitter. Hang individually from the ceiling or mount them together on a bulletin board for a beautiful January display! Let It Snow!******** |
