Winter Fun Friday~

Our week was pretty non eventful...

just continued our normal routine with a few Winter books thrown in for fun.

Today we woke up to pretty frigid temps so I decided we would learn about thermometers and temperature~

EK asked if we could sit a bowl of water out on the step to see if it would freeze... watched all day but no ice.

We also watched what happened to ice in the sun then put the melted water back in the freezer.

Amazing how such a simple experiment can make even Evie understand solids and liquids.

Our first book of the day was A Snowy Day and we created our own thermometers to manipulate~ 

EK ran to get her snow globe so we decided to make our own~

 As we read Polar Bear, Polar Bear, EK used the Globe pen to let us hear each animal sound... very cool!

We did a little dancing to The Freeze and others~

Had a little snack and called it a Winter Fun Friday.

Next week~

Katy and the Big Snow!!!

The Wind Blew~

March is the perfect month to learn all about weather. We pretty much experience it all here in Ga... snow, wind, sunny/warm, and rain. The wind blew all night and still this morning. I pulled my weather folder and The Wind Blew~

After reading the story, they decorated a square and using it with a straw created a pinwheel~

 We also did some research about wind using our IPad especially how it works for us. EK decided this was a great topic for her journal writing. Looking forward to more wind activities tomorrow!
