Outside in the field
There has been so much snow that we have been sinking when we walk. The teachers sink all the way to their knees to make big holes. Sometime we have a hard time getting our foot out of the hole. So much fun!!
The children have made snowmen, snow angels, used big shovels, little shovels & pails for castles, snow forts, etc. The children have sprayed colored water on the snow with our squirt bottles.
Indoor Snowy Day Bulletin Boards
Peter and The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats
We painted our big snowman white for White Day and made marble painted snowflakes.
We traced our hands, cut out mittens & decorated them with colored felt. We also cut out circle snowballs and glued snow glitter on them for our "Let's Make Snowballs" bulletin board.
Indoor Snow Fun
Even when it was too cold to go outside, we brought the outside in. It was amazing how fast the snow would melt in our warm classroom. We still needed mittens while we played in the snow.
Snowball Shakes
We put a rounded scoop of vanilla ice cream in our cups and the children poured milk over the ice cream. It was so much fun to see how fast or slow the ice cream would pop up from under the milk.
We also made hot chocolate in January.
One day we went to the cafeteria to drink our hot chocolate and another day we made the hot chocolate in our classroom. We added mini marshmellows too. Delicious!!
