I've really enjoyed making centers/activities for my autism and special needs PreK classes (2 and 3 year olds). I've also kind of developed a pattern as well. Since what they need is so different, it's taken me in a new direction. We have been "dressing" kids for Fall, putting faces on scarecrows, and now we're dressing firefighters! While my 2 and 3 year olds can't really "count the room," I added this activity on as well since my PreK (4 year olds) and K-1 Autism class really enjoy this activity! In fact, once my first and Kinders saw them up, they wanted to do it, too!
So, once I saw that Krista Wallace at Creative Clips created a "Build a Snowman" clipart....well, knew I had to get that! I probably will wait to use this activity in January, but got inspired by her clipart...that and looking through the shelves for Christmas/Winter picture books the students are already requesting! (Of course, maybe that's because all my turkey books are checked out!).
I love the "Snowmen at Night" series, so I put that to the side and thought that would be a great read aloud for that lesson. Pair that with "Snowmen All Year", and you have a nice review for seasons for K and 1 students! Throw in a "Write the Room" and "Count the Room" (which work fantastically for Library centers!), and I've got activities for PreK-1 about snowmen! (I can also see my 2nd graders wanting to do the "Write the Room" as well!).
So, I've included below the pictures of both activity packs. Click on them if you'd like to see them up close and in more detail! :)
