Winter Week

This week we learned all about winter weather! Although it is still fall, it sure feels like winter out there! The students played with "snow" in the sensory bin, colored winter coloring sheets, painted winter trees, and participated in a variety of science experiments and STEM activities!












 The students were engineers and built snowflakes and igloos with marshmallows and toothpicks!


















Snowstorm in a jar science experiment!









Melting Snowman science experiment! The students got to see the chemical reaction that occurs when vinegar and baking soda are mixed!

It was a good time! Enjoy the pictures below and have a great weekend!  I also added a couple pictures I snapped at recess and then one of the 4th graders having their safety talk with Mr. Veit! We go over drop off and dismissal procedures each year to remind students how to be safe on the big flat.
