In our class, we sing songs, read books, and make art about snow. However, snow is somewhat rare in Atlanta! While I really enjoy our relatively mild winters, they don't provide much opportunities for learning about snow. So today we decided to make our own!
First, the children took turns placing ice cubes into a blender pitcher. Then, they took turns pushing buttons on the blender to crush the ice and to turn it into "snow."
We took turns feeling the snow. The children exclaimed, "It's cold!" Now that we know how to make our own snow, there is no limit to the snow-related science experiments and recipes we can do in Kitah Alef Bet this winter.
Reyn talked about this from the second I picked him up until he went to bed.
ReplyDeleteHe said the snow tasted like snow and he threw it up in the air.
(I think he loved making snow)
