January Fun

We have had fun learning about snow, ice and animals in winter. The children love doing winter experiments such as seeing if packed snow or fluffy snow melts fastest. Sledding has been too dangerous this month with all the icy weather but the children have had fun making snow cakes and painting in the snow.

We have also been working on recognizing letters and the sounds of letters. We had lots of laughs making letters with our bodies. The children have been building letters with wood pieces that are lines and curves.

In math we have been looking for patterns and have made some discoveries using the calendar. There was great excitement when someone found that the the numbers 1-9 repeat in the ones column but also in the tens column. We have also been using the pattern blocks to make designs and the block area has been busy with children designing buildings and ramps.
