A little "Game of Thrones" reference for the adults out there :-)
 |
| Team 5 students enjoyed making snowflakes for winter decorations. We also so watched snow and ice melt in to water during our morning. Students predicted how long the transition from solid to liquid might take. |
 |
| Then we turned the dramatic play area in to an ice skating rink! |
 |
| Students had pretend hot chocolate & cookies for break time... a.k.a. waiting for a turn to skate.  The students sold/bought tickets to enter the Dover Ice Rink. Of course I had to digitally design our own personalized tickets. |
 |
| I visited a children's museum and was inspired to make home made Cloud Dough. Team 5 mixed it themselves for the whole class in our sensory table. |
I found the recipe here: PBS.org Cloud Dough Exploration
 |
| They played with the Cloud Dough for weeks and it's reusable! It was so easy to make & it moisturized their winter hands (added bonus). |
 |
| Mrs Seiz made us little winter sports people to mold mountains for. |
 |
| The students loved using this obstacle course. |
 |
During the winter we're lucky to have the gym to play in...  Building a snow fort is even better when a grader is working right nearby. |
 |
| These were some of the books we read for our winter unit. This year's focus was on people and winter sports. *************************************************** |
