SNOW, ICE, & SNOWMEN?????????

Although we didn't see any of the white fluffy snow or ice outside, we created our own snowmen, and did many experiments with ice inside. Getting to play outside in late January was as much a treat as seeing our shadows and learning about the groundhog. Our boys continue to enjoy and reap the advantages of the small group atmosphere.



Shadow play was a blast especially when we turned out the lights :)



A game of bowling anyone????

Since we didn't get any real snow, we used marshmallows to create our shapes and cubes.

The game called Knock Out gave added practice with recognition of lower case letters. The boys used a drill to knock out cubes of letters.

The tornado tube is always a favorite.

The boys were very ingenious on ways to melt their ice cubes. Some poured salt on it, some put it in the sun, and others went to melt it in warm water.

This picture shows frozen water (solids). We kept them out overnight to see if they would melt back into liquids. They did.
