Sixty Degrees and Snow!

This week we started learning about winter by reading about snow men and making some snow man crafts.  We made snow fluff by mixing corn starch and shaving cream together.  It was very messy but a lot of fun and it really felt like snow (except it wasn't cold).  The children enjoyed sculpting it and making various shapes with the snow fluff.  Hopefully we'll have real snow soon!  The children also used their cutting skills to cut out a snow man.  We also learned size words and position words while making the snowman.  We also made a snow man using mini marshmallows.  Each child cut out a melted snow man and came up with a reason why the snow man melted. 

This week's letter: N
Letters we've learned so far: M, T, A,S, P, C, I, B.
