Thursday

The children had alot of questions about snow today.  We actually had a water table full of snow with one side packed and one side full of fluffy snow.  The children wondered which side would melt first. They also had some great wonder questions about snow and the water table.

We worked on sorting today in math groups.  We sorted ourselves in some groups and we sorted ourselves in many different ways.  In another group we looked at attributes and used our knoweldge of same and different to make groups.  It was a lot of fun seeing the different ways we can sort.

We are also nearing the end of our diaries.  The children have really enjoyed this activity.  We may be able to send them home to share if everyone is really careful as they are not laminated. 

We will be sending home our Eric Carle books starting today!  Please be gentle with our books as we spent a lot of time on these and everyone is so proud of their work. 

Also please remember to send in extra mitts for your child as many of the children have wet mitts even before school starts. Just make sure you tell your child where you are putting the extra mitts so they know where they are.  Thanks for your help with this. :)
