In my part of California, we don’t get snow.  We are a short drive from the snow but rarely see the beautiful white stuff.  In my classroom, I like to bring out the winter activities in order to help me think we live in the snow!  Here is a round-up of winter activities we use in our 1st grade classroom.

Winter Fine Motor Activities

When students come into the classroom in the morning, I have morning tubs out with activities that are fun but sneak in some fine-motor work.

January can be a busy month! Hopefully, you were able to find something that will work for your class.
