Winter Animals

Storytime continues winter themes with stories today about animals in winter. We read Over and Under the Snow by Kate Messner, one of my favorite books! A girl and her father ski through the winter woods while they talk about the animals living right under their feet, under the snow and the ground. It was fun to point out all the animals! Emily read us Virgil & Owen by Paulette Bogan, about a penguin who finds a polar bear and wants to be his only friend. We read a new book called Mice Skating by Annie Silvestro about a mouse who, unlike her friends, loves winter and wants to be outside. Can you guess what she likes to do??

We made polar bear faces from paper plates and squares of tissue paper. We glued a plastic cup for a snout and gave him sticker eyes and a pompom nose. Growl!!!

It sure was fun to be with old friends again!
