We've been busy learning all about snow in our classroom this past week. We read a non-fiction book about snow where we learned a lot of cool facts! Did you know every snowflake has 6 points? Snow falls from clouds and when it is really cold it turns into powdery snow and when it is warm it turns into wet snow. We also learned when snow melts it turns into water and runs into sewers, the ground and even lakes and rivers! After we learned all about snow we painted pictures of snow, cut out snowflakes and even made snowmen out of shaving cream and glue. We brought snow into our classroom and predicted what would happen to it in our class. We took out our magnifying glasses and got a closer look to see if we could see the 6 points of the snow flakes. Our classroom and bulletin board are snow-fabulous!

We also experimented with some new materials and toys in our classroom. We played with pattern blocks and made a variety of different shapes and animals. This was great for identifying shapes and colours. Check out this birthday cake!

We brough in some new play dough and got our hands dirty making super heroes, shapes and snowmen! We had a lot of fun and developed our fine motor skills in the process.
