(Vol. 2, Issue 4, February 2011) Olivia Trevino’s preschool class at Marsh Elementary School took advantage of all the winter weather to explore picture books about mittens.

Seminar teachers Rosa Urrutia and Katie Schneider created a fantastic poster about a math activity featuring the book The First Day of Winter.

This charming tale by Denise Fleming (Henry Holt and Company, 2005) is the perfect book for any wintry day—and a fun way to introduce a lot of important mathematical ideas.
