Winter Means Exploring Ice!

We explored all sorts of ice this week, including ice cubes, colored ice cubes, and our own containers that we filled with water to make ice.The sensory table had ice in it almost every day, in different forms, and this gave the children the opportunity to explore hands on the temperature of ice and states of water from liquid to solid.

the best part was draining the water table every day!

Our art projects involved melting ice in many ways, with powdered tempera that would catch the water, colored ice cubes to push around the paper, and filling various containers with water so that it would freeze in different shapes. 

We've asked some questions about ice, from the point of what we know to what we "wonder" and we'll be posting our questions and answers next week, as this study will continue. We'll have a science expert come in and speak to us about ice on Monday!

The children have continued to create new friendships, explore different ways of playing together, and enjoy all that it means to be a Pre-K 4. 

Until Next Time,

Michele
