Snow is Falling!

Snow was in the air this week! We had "snow" much fun learning about ice and snow!

Our inquisitive minds are growing each week! We had fun learning about how every snowflake is unique and different... Every single one. Our secret message that we uncovered this week told us that God made each of us unique (just like the snowflakes). We also discussed ice and how it forms and melts. To try to figure out why we put salt down on roads and sidewalks when it snows, we did our own salt water experiment. See if your child can remember what happened when they dropped salt water on their ice cubes. 

We also had fun talking about snowmen this week! We read the books Sneezy the Snowman, Snowmen All Year, and Snow Dog, Go Dog! We also had fun painting our own melted snowmen as well as snowmen out of our names! Check out our bulletin board in the hallway to see these snowmen!

Our letter of the week was the letter I... I is for igloos and ice! We also focused on the letters 7 and 8. We are doing such a good job counting and identifying numbers! Everyone in our class is also an expert at colors and shapes! Mrs. Nicole and I are so impressed. We are learning so much!

Here are some things to ask your child this week... Can you...

1. Tell me the sound letter I makes?

2. Write an eight in the air and count eight objects?

3. Explain what happens to ice when salt water touches it?

4. Tell me something awesome about a snowflake?

5. Draw a triangle, square, circle, and rectangle?

Someone wanted a one-eyed snowman. :)
