The Best Kindergarten Winter Resources

We’re onto the next season. It’s time to incorporate it in your classroom. You may not be into planning the whole season at one time, but there are enough winter resources here to help you get as far as you need. I know how important it is to have hands on activities that engage students while helping them learn new skills and practice the ones they have already learned. That may be top on the list, but activities that don’t take you a whole weekend to prep are a plus too, right? I’ve got you covered!
