Winter break will be here soon! Looking for some fun non-screen ideas of things to do during break? Check this resource out on MyKidsTime.com
Bonding, engagement, movement, developmentally appropriate, and fun! Tactile Trackers can sneakily become a sloppy activity. Want an easy tip from one SMART teacher? You don’t have to just do dots of glue! Katie, an educator and trainer in St. Paul, adds different line and dot patterns. Think morse code :)
She shared that the change in texture alone was enough to get her students re-engaged. They loved discovering what line and dot pattern she used. Katie made these Tactile Trackers from printed mindfulness mats that were shared in an older edition of the SMART newsletter (find them here under One SMART Teacher!) Print, dot, dry, and now you have some fresh activity sheets to use this week! Do you need a little spark to keep SMART lively before winter break? December is a busy month so here are three easy winter variations to SMART activities. Alligator Crawl Let jingle bells build excitement for crawling! String some jingle bells from a yardstick and place it on top of two cones. Watch how low those little Alligator Crawlers can really get! Balance Beam Lay down some blue painter’s tape in the shape of a mitten to practice heel-toe walking around a curve. Remember: Slow it good! Learning Ladders
Do you already have some candy cane decor? If not, use tag board and construction paper strips to make a large candy cane for a thematic Learning Ladder. We recommend laminating it first and then writing content with either a dry erase or wet erase marker on the stripes of the candy cane. Be creative with the content you use! |
