Preschool Learning Activities for a Reindeer Themed Unit
By Amanda Boyarshinov
Dear Parents and Teachers – this month at The Educators’ Spin On It site we have been sharing some amazingly fun reindeer themed learning activities for ALL areas of study; reading, math, science, social studies, art, cooking, and movement. We invite you to look around for more ways to interact with your child and enrich their learning this winter season and hope to inspire you to make everyday activities, learning opportunities. That’s what parenting with purpose is all about!
