This week we learned

This week we learned the letter D. To make this letter one needs a big line and a big curve. Friends learned that words like December, dark, dime start with the letter D. Friends brought different treasures for the Letter D Treasure Box: a doll, a dreydel, dumbbells, dogs, a dollar, a dime, and dinosaurs.  Thank you everyone for making effort to find the treasures!

Next week letter will be the letter P. We can't wait to see new treasures! To pre-teach the letter P go to http://www.starfall.com/n/level-k/letter-p/load.htm?f
Science: This weeks weather gave us a great opportunity to learn more about winter. We learned that when the temperature is low, the snow is not sticky enough for a snowman. That is why we played with the snow and took a full box of snow to observe what would happen to it in the classroom where temperature is much higher than outside.  Pre-K friends predicted that the snow will melt and they were correct.  Now the questions was how long it would take the snow to melt. Friends had different ideas - from 100 seconds to 1800 days.

That is how our sensory table looked like when we were going home... but the next morning our snow box looked like this!

The snow melted. Everyone agreed that there is no way to turn the water back into the snow. It could freeze to ice, however.
