Snow & Ice

Although we didn't have any snow and ice on the ground (not that I am complaining) we found fun ways to explore the theme. We worked on the letter Ii and the number 6...I also completed the assessments over what we have covered.

Thursday:
Gone with Gumby adventures! Gumby experience yummy food and snakes!

Adventures with Pokey! Pokey had fun building with magnetic blocks and trying on this sweet boy's new glasses!

We read a sweet story about a snowman, Snowden...and then made a magical snowman of our own...

Making crystals!



We examined them and then had to wait for our crystals to grow overnight.

Working on ordering our names. I gave the kiddos the letters of their names and they had to put them in order. This activity I was able to modify as needed for the kiddos needs. Some were able to do this entirely on their own...others had to have me write out their name so they could match the letters to it. 




 Friday:
Making ice fizz!

Smelling vinegar! 


We could see the ice fizz by adding the food coloring...we also could hear it!



Look at all those bubbles!!


Who knew ice could be so much fun??


We read, Sneezey Snowman then we made a melted snowman of our own! And explained how it melted! Super cute!  The kiddos had to count out 1 nose, 2 eyes, and 3 buttons. This was an awesome way for me to check their simple direction following and counting. They rocked it!

Just look at those blocks! Great job sweet friends!

Our sweet snack guy this week brought in icy Popsicles! We got to enjoy them outside!

What!?!?!? There are worms!??! Let's take a closer look!


We aren't scared of no worms!



Pretending they are mama and baby worms!

Painting ice!

beading 6-sided snowflakes...such a great fine motor task and the kids loved it!




Here I laid out "snowflakes" that the kiddos had to add to their snowman. The trick here was they had to count out 6 snowflakes...on their own. I was able to check their counting skills and the understanding of the number 6.


Exploring the crystals we made the day before!

They love science!
What a fun week exploring so many things! I love fostering their love of learning!
