Once There Was A Snowman!

Theme: Once There Was A Snowman!

Choosing Time: Safari Gears, Duplos, Peg Boards with Rubber Bands, Bug Game

Science: Each child chose an Ice Block to place anywhere in the front yard. Each block was sprinkled with salt and then drizzled with 4 colors. We are watching our blocks to see how quickly or slowly they melt. We had 1 block left over and so we watched it inside the classroom. Some were surprised that it was nearly melted by the end of school. Some children had predicted that it would melt slower than the blocks outside. We had a fun discussion about melting.
Snack: Thank you Grayce for a yummy snack of oranges, tangelos, & pretzels. No one believed me that there was a difference in the "oranges" :)

Book: The Biggest, Best Snowman by Marjorie Cuyler

Music & Movement: Once There Was A Snowman, Chubby Little Snowman, & 8 Dancing Snowmen (which also served as math)

Art: Snowmen of course :)

You may notice that there have been fewer pictures...I just get too involved with what we're doing to remember to take them. Sorry!
