Triangle Room- January 16-18, 2018

Last week we continued to explore the topic of winter. Our focus on Tuesday was snow and ice. We learned about the forms of water and experimented with what heat and cold do to water. Our focus on Wednesday was animals in winter. We learned that some animals hibernate during the cold winter months. Our focus on Thursday was winter literature. We had fun with the books There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Snow and Ten On The Sled. We also worked on counting, writing and hearing the letter W, and recognizing the letters in our name.

We had a bit on an interesting start to our day on Thursday when we discovered that our classroom had flooded overnight. Fortunately we were able to just move to the science room for the day and will most likely be there this week as well.

"snow" in the sensory table- baking soda and hair conditioner



talking about the forms of water-
in the liquid form, water can be poured





"the snow in the air is falling down...."

What happens to solid water when heat is applied?

painting glitter 





fine motor skill- painting glitter glue onto snowflake pasta






playdoh snowmen



We are bats huddled together in a cave in the winter.

We are bats flying around now in warm weather. 


We are turtles sleeping down deep in the mud through the winter. 


voting with our thumbs- "Does this animal hibernate in the winter?"





spelling our names with sticker letters













Yes or No- Does your letter have a W in it?
