One of a series of activity guides designed to aid teachers in developing the thinking skills of primary grade students, this publication offers a variety of learning activities and resource materials. The activities and resources include: a calendar which lists important days and birthdays in December, January, and February; poems; word puzzles and other puzzles; a flannelboard story; art activities; an exercise in following directions; language arts activities; mathematics activities; activities related to telephones; and "sponge" activities for times when there are a few spare minutes in the day. Many of the activities have a theme related to winter holidays (especially Christmas) or to Mississippi, New Mexico, and Oregon (the "states of the month"). An index lists the activities in four categories related to thinking skills from Guilford's Structure of the Intellect model: cognition, memory, convergent production, and divergent production. (DC)
